Absolute junk that bass pro was. Big plastic weights.
Just bought an 8' radius old salt last fall. Great net for the price. They are made with hoops but they do spread pretty nice. I like the overall weight ( one pound per foot of radius) and the shape of the weights. They are easy on the rotator cuff. An eight food diameter in any other net (that I could find) is too heavy (1.3-1.5 pounds per foot) to throw from my boat while trying to throw it up over trolling moors and other stuff on the bow while being mindful of the rotator. I recommend it.
