Why this mesh stands out

Unlike generic netting, this 60-ply orange cray pot mesh is engineered for durability and practical fishing out in coastal conditions. The thick weave resists snagging and wear, so repairs and adjustments last longer between trips. The 75mm openings are large enough to minimize snagging on debris while still containing small crayfish, giving you a dependable balance of retention and catchability.

Ideal use cases

• Constructing NEW cray pots from sturdy wooden or steel frames where a robust, continuous mesh is required.
• Repairing or patching damaged sections of existing pots to extend their life and performance.
• Customising pot shapes and sizes for different fishing grounds or licence requirements.
• Replacing worn panels on multi-panel pots to maintain visibility and access control for catches.
• Creating auxiliary coverings or inserts that improve ventilation while keeping crayfish secure.

Practical tips for best results

• Measure your pot dimensions carefully and plan to cut slightly longer lengths for secure hems and overlaps. Since the mesh is sold by the metre, you can tailor the length precisely to your pot design.
• Reinforce open edges with a sturdy tying method or durable twine to prevent fraying during deployment and retrieval.
• Use the orange colour as a visual cue to quickly locate pots in low light or murky water, which can save time during checks.
• Store cut pieces in a dry, shaded area to extend the mesh’s lifespan and prevent UV degradation when not in use.
• For best performance, pair this mesh with standard pot frames and ensure seams are sealed to avoid crayfish escape paths.

Whether you’re building from scratch, patching up older pots, or stocking up for multiple rigs, this Cray Pot Mesh 60ply 3inch Orange per metre provides a sturdy, reliable foundation. It’s the smart choice for serious NZ crayfishers who value strength, visibility, and practical, field-ready sizing.
