1. Hold the yoke of the casting net in your left hand and hold the cast net up in the air, fully extended. Shake the net out and make sure the lead line around the bottom is not tangled or caught on itself.
2. With your right hand grab the net in the middle of the net about half way between the yoke and the lead line.
3. Roll the net over your left hand. When doing this you are rolling the net under your left hand and back over it so it back towards you.
4. Split the lead line at the bottom of the net in half. You want about half of the net to be in your left hand and about half of it hanging down. Check again as you are doing this and make sure the lead line is not tangled. If the lead line is tangled, untangle it. Now, roll this portion of the net over the top of your left hand, going away from you.
5. When you look at the lead line facing away from you the weights and lead line on your left should be almost level and the weights and lead line on your right should be almost level also. There will be a noticeable drop in the lead line and it should be near the middle of the net facing away from you. Grab the lead line in the middle of where it drops. This will be the middle of the net.
6.Put the lead line in your teeth, not the weights, just the fishing rope. If you prefer to throw without using your teeth then you would lay this portion of the lead line over the top of your left hand.
7. Reach down with your right and grab the lead line facing away from you as far down as you can grab it without bending over.

8. Rotate your upper body and throw. As the net opens up I am letting go with my left and first. I still have the net in my right hand but am holding it very loosely allowing the net to come out of my hand but still following through with my right arm helping the net to open. Open your mouth to release the lead line (if you are using your teeth).
