Fitec Ultra Spreader GS Series Mullet Cast Net

The Fitec Ultra Spreader GS Series Mullet Cast Net is a heavy-duty cast net designed specifically for mullet, bunker and other large baitfish.

Unlike general-purpose bait nets with smaller mesh, the GS Mullet Series uses a large 1" square mesh that allows water to move quickly through the net for an aggressive sink rate. Combined with Fitec's six-panel Ultra Spreader construction, it's built for experienced anglers who need a serious net for targeting larger bait.

Built Specifically for Mullet

Mullet require a different cast-net setup than smaller bait such as pilchards and threadfins.

The 1" square mesh is designed around larger bait, allowing considerably more water to pass through the net as it sinks. Fitec specifically recommends the GS Mullet Net for mullet, bunker and other large bait.

That makes it an excellent choice during the Florida mullet run or anytime larger mullet are the primary target.

1" Square Mesh

The large 1" mesh is one of the most important features of this net.

It's designed for larger bait rather than small baitfish, making the GS Series Mullet Net a specialized tool rather than an everyday do-everything cast net.

GS-1000 & GS-1500 Weight Options

Fitec offers its GS Mullet Net with different weighting for anglers who want to balance ease of throwing against maximum sink rate.

The GS-1000 configuration uses 1 lb of lead per radius foot, providing a strong sink rate while remaining more manageable to throw.

The heavier GS-1500 configuration uses 1.5 lb per radius foot, producing an even faster sink for deeper water, stronger current or fast-moving schools of mullet.

For most anglers, the choice comes down to how much net they're comfortable throwing and how aggressively they need it to sink.

Six-Panel Ultra Spreader Design

Fitec uses a six-panel construction designed to maximize the net's true spread potential while adding strength and helping create a secure closure during retrieval.

Getting a cast net to consistently open is just as important as its radius. The Ultra Spreader design is intended to produce a balanced net that opens effectively when thrown correctly.

SPS Clear Monofilament Netting

The GS Mullet Series uses Fitec's SPS clear monofilament resin netting.

Fitec designed the material to provide strength while maintaining a softer feel for improved net performance and handling.

Heavy-Duty Braille Lines

The GS Mullet Net incorporates heavy-duty 90 lb-test braille lines.

As the net is retrieved, the braille lines pull the bottom together to close the net and retain the bait inside.

26-Foot Floating Handline

A 26-foot high-floating braided polyethylene handline provides additional working length for deeper water and stronger current.

That extra length is particularly useful when the larger mesh and heavier lead allow the net to sink farther through the water column.

Komfort Kuff

Fitec's Komfort Kuff is designed to reduce chafing around the throwing wrist.

It's a simple feature, but one that becomes useful when you're making repeated throws during a mullet run or working a large school of bait.

Available Sizes

Fitec currently offers the GS Mullet Series in:

• 6 ft
• 7 ft
• 8 ft
• 9 ft
• 10 ft
• 12 ft

All use 1" mesh, with 1.0 lb and 1.5 lb weighting options available depending on configuration.

Choosing the Right GS Mullet Net

For anglers who want a more manageable net, the 1 lb-per-foot GS-1000 provides the specialized 1" mullet mesh without the additional throwing weight of the GS-1500.

For experienced anglers targeting mullet in deeper water, current or fast-moving schools, the 1.5 lb-per-foot GS-1500 provides the more aggressive sink rate.

Don't automatically choose the largest or heaviest version. A cast net that you can consistently load, open and retrieve effectively will catch more bait than a larger net that's difficult for you to throw.

Why Choose the Fitec GS Mullet Net?

This isn't the Fitec net we'd choose for someone primarily catching small pilchards or threadfins.

The GS Mullet Series is purpose-built around larger bait.

The combination of 1" mesh, six-panel construction and heavier lead options gives experienced anglers a specialized cast net for getting over a school of mullet and getting the net down quickly.

Premier Tackle Take

If you're specifically targeting mullet, buy a net designed for mullet.

That's where the Fitec Ultra Spreader GS Series makes sense. The large 1" mesh allows the net to sink efficiently, while the GS-1000 and GS-1500 weight options let you choose between a more manageable throw and maximum sink rate.

For Florida anglers preparing for the mullet run or regularly catching larger bait, this is the specialized Fitec net we'd look at over a smaller-mesh general-purpose model.
