  • Publication number: 20040200119
    Abstract: A cast net throwing device is provided for use with a cast net including a netting defining a mesh, with the netting being bounded at an outer periphery by a lead line, and the cast net that may including a plurality of brail lines secured at opposite end to the lead line and interconnected there between to a throw line, with the throw line and brail lines operating in combination with one another to close the net when a user pulls on the throw line. The cast net throwing device comprises at least one handle member having apertures for accepting brail lines, (throwing device) operatively secured to the central area of the netting intermediate the lead line, without interfering with the function of the brail lines of the cast net. The handle member is sized and configured to permit a user to grasp the member, thereby enhancing the user's ability to impart rotation to the cast net when the cast net is thrown.
