Default Cast nets

Is there an ideal size that makes one easier to throw? I have a small one, can't remember the size, but I think it's a 6 or 8 foot. And it's a pain to throw. When I see an 8yr old throwing a 12+ footer it makes me think that the net is too small, and I'm an idiot because I can't get the dang thing to work!!! Lol. What are you guys using?

Smaller is easier. I learned on a large net and was throwing my 6' that way until salty showed me an easier method for the small nets. No more bananas for me

I'm the banana king!!!! 😕 I've been looking and it seems that there are nets out there that are a little easier to throw, but it is all about technique. I'm going to have just wear my arms out practicing the next few days.

Thanks tk, I read all of that post. Some very good info.
