Mullet Nets NZ-made quality – manufactured in Auckland
Mullet Nets NZ — Ready-to-Fish, NZ Made in Auckland
Looking to buy a mullet net in New Zealand? You're in the right place. At Action Outdoors, we manufacture ready-to-fish mullet nets right here in our Auckland factory. Every net leaves our workshop fully rigged with floats, lead-core rope, and quality mesh — ready to set or drag the moment it arrives.
Unlike imported fishing nets, our NZ-made mullet nets are built specifically for New Zealand conditions — estuaries, harbours, river mouths, and open coastline. We've been making nets for Kiwi fishers for years, and we know what works.
Mullet Net Sizes & Lengths
We stock mullet nets in the most popular lengths:
- 20m — perfect for small estuaries and tight spots
- 30m — the most popular all-round mullet net size
- 40m — great for wider channels and river mouths
- 50m & 60m — for serious mullet fishing and larger waterways
- 100m — commercial and Pacific Island use

Mesh Sizes for Mullet Nets
Choosing the right mullet net mesh size is important for both catch rate and legal compliance. We offer:
- 85mm (3¼") — West Coast mullet, smaller fish
- 90mm (3½") — the most popular mesh size for mullet in NZ
- 100mm (4") — larger mullet, also catches kahawai
All mesh sizes comply with MPI recreational fishing regulations. Always check your local area rules before setting a net — New Zealand has seven fishing regions, each with different rules.
Set Net or Drag Net — Which Do You Need?
Mullet set nets are anchored in position and left to fish passively — ideal for harbours and estuaries where mullet travel along predictable routes. Mullet drag nets are actively pulled through the water or along beaches, great for schooling fish in shallow water.
We make both types, plus floating mullet nets with extra buoyancy for surface-feeding fish. Browse our range below or view our dedicated Mullet Drag Nets collection.

Mullet Net FAQ
What mesh size mullet net do I need in NZ?
The most common mullet net mesh size in NZ is 90mm (3½ inch). This is legal in most NZ fishing areas for recreational use. For larger mullet or kahawai, choose 100mm (4 inch). Always check MPI rules for your specific fishing area — regulations differ between NZ's seven fishing regions.
How long should a mullet net be?
For recreational fishing, 30m to 40m is the most popular length. Shorter nets (20m) work well in tight spots like small estuaries. Longer nets (60–100m) are used in open water or for commercial/PI fishing.
What's the difference between a mullet set net and a drag net?
A set net is anchored in place and left to fish — mullet swim into it. A drag net is pulled through the water by hand, herding fish into the mesh. Drag nets work best on beaches and in shallow water. Set nets are better for harbours and channels where fish follow tide routes.
Are your mullet nets legal in NZ?
Yes — all our nets are manufactured to comply with NZ MPI recreational fishing rules. Mesh sizes, net depths, and construction meet current standards. However, net fishing rules vary by area and season, so always check the latest MPI rules before fishing.
