Two cast nets are good.
I would have liked to have had two mesh sizes based on the bait.
I liked small mesh for Mullet and slightly larger mesh for Atlantic Bunker (not the same as our bunker) and Pinfish.

The Mullet gets it's fins stuck in the larger mesh and is a real pain to get 'em out. But I like the larger mesh around bulkheads and shallow grassy areas. The target bait stays in and the grass is easier to dislodge.

As for the Snook size limits, 36 inch seems more practical, tons of 'em are caught. The larger ones get off the hook quite often, especially for the inexperienced Snook angler, easy to tear it out of their mouth when setting or powering it in.
