An 8-inch x 16-inch fishing bait well net is typically used to scoop or transfer baitfish, minnows, or other live bait from a bait bucket or livewell into your fishing setup. Here’s what you should know about it:
Features & Uses:
- Size: 8" (width) x 16" (length) – compact but effective for handling small baitfish.
- Material: Usually made of fine, knotless nylon or polyester mesh to prevent tangling and injury to bait.
- Handle: May include a plastic or metal hoop frame with a short or extendable handle for easy scooping.
- Purpose:
- Keeps bait alive by allowing water to flow through.
- Helps separate bait from water when transferring.
- Useful for both freshwater and saltwater fishing.
Where to Buy:
- Fishing supply stores (Bass Pro Shops, Cabela’s, Tackle Warehouse)
- Online retailers (Amazon, eBay, Walmart)
- Local bait & tackle shops
Alternatives/Sizes:
- If you need a larger net, consider a 10" x 20" or 12" x 24" model.
- For very small bait (like brine shrimp), a micro-mesh net works better.
