I am selling my shad net that has never been used. BRAND NEW and comes with the net cover. This is the type of shad net you want to grab shad with ease.

Selling price is 170 Obo. Will take reasonable offers.

American Rod Company makes this shad net and more info can be found on their site regarding this net. The handle itself is about 15ft i believe.

People interested email me @ gullyak@tmo.blackberry.net for quickest reply.

Thanks kaneo for replying. This is indeed one of the best shad nets to use. Long/long handle length + the flourocarbon shad net makes this prime for your shad fishing days!

The price is set pretty low, i will negotiate at a reasonable yet great price for you. My loss is your gain.

Come September, when people start watching the guys with the live stuff have 100 fish days, something tells me we'll be revisiting this post.

The thing is, guys think they can go to Bass Pro and pick up a cheap shad net, and you're gonna be pretty much wasting your time. There's a reason why these nets run for $300. Its the difference between the guys with a bucketful of live bait, and the guy standing on the dock with his $40 net, wondering why he hasn't netted one bait.

Some people learn the hard way though. I was one of them :-D

thanks for the kind words. Now people know that the price stated, is more than reasonable.

This net is amazing, just not my type of fishing guys. Brand new, has never been used. Waiting for a good owner to have 100+ fish day out on the waters..

a biley,

at this point, you could probably hold off and sell it in the fall for almost the MSRP, once people start seeing the shad reports.

^^possibility. didnt realize, (no offense to anyone) that this forum is filled with LOWBALLERS.

Dont know of anyone who complained about a 40% almost 50% discount off a brand new shad net

will not respond to ridiculous offers. 170 takes it.

instead of offering 140 which is pretty outrageous for a net retailing for 279.99. cough up 30 more bucks for a good investment for your shad fishing needs.

That Bass Pro net couldn't get an anchovy out of a bait tank.

Every fall, it repeats itself....the guy with the net used to catch butterflies and crickets trying to get live shad in his bucket all day, while the guy with the ARC net scoops a days full in 2 minutes.

reason why i was in shock to get offers around 130-140 price range :).


Ive seen the ARC nets in action last year. Let me tell you, your black mesh net against this flourocarbon net is like comparing a rental boat to a ranger z21.

I know ill be thinking of this net when the shad come in fall. i just cant get myself to throw live-bait. Love the artificial game.

i'm the same way, man.

but, there are those days that all you wanna do is sit back, not think, and catch 100 fish before 2 pm.

i think every bass fisherman is entitled to a day or two of those days a year, right? :-D

What does kill me is the neophytes who have no clue on how to safely fish live bait, who end up gut hooking 1/2 their fish because they think they're fishing for marlin and let the fish run with the bait for 2 minutes. I just shake my head when they get bit, and the first thing they do is start giving the fish line. :Rolls Eyes:

Either use a circle hook, or crimp your barbs. Don't worry if you lose a fish, there'll be another one right behind it ready to eat your next offering.

Good luck with the sale! If I had my own boat, I would've already jumped all over this.

E man

That is a heck of a deal for that net! I have one and also a cheaper one. The cheap one's will bend and you'll end up throwing it in the trash and waste your $50. I love fishing artificial baits as well but when the shad bite is on it's great to take out the kids and friends for a great day of catching!

Love the artificial game. not only florocarbon netting, but all matt black in color, the silver metal ring is not as good as the black, the silver will scatter the shad if its a sunny day.... had the $60 net and it was sold in a garage sale and never used... dont waste your money guys, this is a KILLER deal, on the BEST shad net out there

Should've thrown in some band aids too, a biley. The lucky buyer's gonna need them when they have a raw case of bass thumb before 10 am.
