In hawaii the mesh size should be 2.24 legal and not all states are the same also sellers when purchase of a size in ft and mesh I order indicated and view exact but when I recipe it was nor the size mesh was 1" . Its not right to falsified products

Betts superpro makes a 5/8 inch net that sinks even faster. But you can’t get them in 14 foot size. I don’t get why people use 3/8 nets as there should always be bait big enough to fit the net. I guess Mahi or snook are little biatches because I use big mullet or big menhaden and catch everything from 20 inch sea trout to 6 foot spinner sharks. Why do Mahi like small pathetic baits? I assume their mouths are small.
