Built by Action Fishing Nets for NZ waters, the Black Snapper Net with Floats is a purpose-made tool for dependable catches across a wide range of species. This net balances retention, durability, and ease of use, whether you’re casting from a boat or working along the coast. Its refined construction is tailored to New Zealand conditions, delivering reliable performance trip after trip.

Why this net stands out

• Mouth opening: 4-3/4 inch (120 mm) to strike a practical balance between catching power and manageable size.
• Depth: 25 meshes, designed to retain target fish without excessive bulk that can hamper deployment.
• Twine and rope: 0.50 mm monofilament twine paired with a robust 6 mm lead-core rope for smooth deployment, steady tension, and long-lasting strength.
• Floats: Integrated buoyancy ensures easy visibility and reliable flotation during both deployment and retrieval.
• Length options: Choose from 20 m, 30 m, 40 m, or 60 m to suit your local waters and boat setup.
• Material design: Monofilament mesh provides snag resistance and predictable performance in typical NZ sea states.
• Versatility: Optimized for snapper and a broad lineup of NZ species, including blue cod, blue moki, butterfish, flatfish, kahawai, kingfish, grey mullet, parore, porae, red cod, red gurnard, red moki, red snapper, sand flounder, tarakihi, and trevally.
• Adaptability for flatfish: The core net design accepts pockets as a simple modification to selectively target flatfish like flounder without altering the overall setup.

What you’ll experience in the water

The Black Snapper Net is designed for practical, predictable performance across changing currents and sea states. The mouth, depth, and mesh density work in concert to maximize retention of desired species while minimizing bycatch. Floats keep the net buoyant for confident deployments, and the lead-core rope provides controlled tension for easy handling on every trip.

Ideal use cases and targets

Perfect for coastal adventures and boat-based casting, this net excels when targeting snapper and a variety of NZ species. It’s a solid choice for anglers pursuing butterfish, tarakihi, trevally, red moki, kahawai, and other common reef and near-shore species. The flexible length options let you adapt to shallow bays or deeper channels with equal confidence.

Practical tips for best results

• Rinse with fresh water after use and allow to dry completely before storage to extend the life of the monofilament mesh and rope.
• Use a steady, controlled motion when lowering and retrieving to ensure even mesh depth and to prevent tangling in rougher conditions.
• Inspect the floats and rope regularly; address any wear early to maintain consistent performance over multiple trips.
• Modular versatility: If you fish for flatfish, consider pocket additions to expand species options without changing the core design.

Legal, safe, and responsible fishing

The Black Snapper Net is designed to perform within NZ rules. Always verify local restrictions and MPI daily catch limits before fishing to ensure compliant and responsible angling.
