Chad G. Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 Looks like an old Japanese fishing net float. We used to find them all the time beachcombing, from a littleĀ biggerĀ than a golf ballĀ clear up to and over the size of a basketball. Here's a largerĀ size one w/ the netting still on it. The smaller ones can still be found for sale by the hundreds @ shops near the coast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to have itš„ RAR The size of the float generally had nothing to do w/ the size of the fish just the amount of floats on the mainline of the net to keep it afloat. The bigger floats were usually used on the ends of the nets for spotting and easier handling & hauling in.
