NZ-Made Mullet Nets Mono — Ready-to-Use Set & Drag Nets in 20m–100m with 90mm or 100mm Mesh

Catch mullet efficiently and stay regulation-aware with a net built for New Zealand waters. Hand-assembled in Auckland, these monofilament mullet nets from Action Fishing Nets arrive fully rigged for fast deployment and consistent performance, season after season. Every detail—from the concealed lead-core bottom rope to the UV-stabilised ropes—has been chosen to make setting, tracking, and hauling smoother in real Kiwi conditions of sun, tide, and current.

Why this mullet net outperforms generic imports

• Inside-lead bottom rope for fewer tangles and safer handling during haul—lead is protected within the braid for a cleaner deck and quicker resets.
• Surface-tracking top rope with floats on robust 6mm line, so you can follow your net’s path at a glance in chop, surf, or low light.
• Purpose-tuned mesh in 90mm or 100mm with ~0.50mm mono that balances catch efficiency with bycatch considerations in harbours and estuaries.
• Built for salt, sun, and abrasion using UV-stabilised polyethylene components selected for New Zealand’s high-UV environment and all-season use.
• Depths matched to mullet habitat: 25MD (about 1.9 m) or 30MD (about 2.3 m) to fish the strike zone in common nearshore grounds.
• NZ-made reliability with consistent rigging, even mesh tension, and durable knots—less guesswork, more fishing.

Sizes and specs for real-world fishing

• Lengths: 20m, 30m, 40m, 50m, 60m, 100m (choose coverage to suit your vessel and target ground).
• Mesh options: 90mm (3–5") or 100mm (4.00"), ~0.50mm mono.
• Rigging: 6mm float line on top; 6mm braided bottom line with concealed lead core for dependable set and sink.
• Recommended anchor guidance: approx. 1 kg per 20m of net at each end for tidy sets in current and wind.

Compliance-aligned design for NZ conditions

These nets are built with New Zealand rules in mind, including typical length limits of up to 40m for drag nets and up to 60m for set nets in many areas, plus regionally specific mesh requirements that commonly reference 90–100mm for mullet-focused netting. Always check the exact rules for your area and fishery before you set.

Who it’s for

• Private fishers working harbours, river mouths, and estuary edges who need a ready-to-fish mono net that sets cleanly and hauls fast.
• Small commercial and community operations seeking dependable, regulation-aware gear that stands up to frequent use.
• Clubs and marae coordinating seasonal mullet runs and wanting consistent results with minimal downtime.

Set smarter: practical tips from the water

• Choose your mesh by target size and local rules: 90mm for highly targeted mullet in many harbours; 100mm where regulations or mixed species require a larger mesh. Confirm local limits before you go.
• Match length to crew and conditions: 20–40m is quick to manage solo or with one mate; 50–60m adds coverage for tidal channels; 100m suits experienced crews and long edges with reliable holding ground.
• Anchor both ends to keep your wall straight; label marker floats with your name for identification and hassle-free retrieval.
• Work the bite window: dawn, dusk, and top or bottom of the tide around current breaks, mud flats, and channel seams where mullet school.
• Handle for longevity: rinse in fresh water, dry in shade, and store loosely coiled to protect UV-stabilised lines and knots.

What you can expect on the water

• Faster deployment thanks to tidy rigging and a weighted footrope that finds bottom quickly without bunching.
• Cleaner hauls with less snagging and twisting, saving time when resetting during a moving tide window.
• Season-spanning durability from UV-stabilised ropes and abrasion-resistant mono that hold up under sun, shell, and sand.

Complete system compatibility

Round out your setup with anchors, marker floats/buoys (name-marked), net runners, line markers, bait boards, and top-up floats—so you can launch, set, and haul with confidence and minimal deck clutter.
