throw net
Tossed fishing web
A throw net is a circular fishing net with weights around its edge, designed to be cast by hand so it spreads open in the air and sinks over fish.
The fisher gathers the net by its center cord, drawing the weighted perimeter together to trap whatever's underneath.
Also called a cast net.
He waded into the shallows and flung the throw net in one smooth motion.
