The cast net shown in this video is from Barracuda Tackle. They are based out of St. Petersburg, FL and make high-quality cast nets.

They are the only cast net company that I know of who offers a guarantee to any of their customers who somehow rip their nets (50% off a brand new net to replace the one that got damaged).
