Unslung Piper Bait Fishing Net Mesh

Piper Bait Fishing Net Mesh Unslung

Our Unslung Piper Bait Fishing Net Mesh is explicitly designed for targeting piper, also known as garfish or ihi in Māori. These fast-moving baitfish are common in New Zealand’s bays and harbours, where they school in large numbers and can often be seen gliding along the surface. Growing up to 40cm, piper are valued both as bait and as a delicate eating fish, though they do contain many fine bones.

This piper bait fishing net is built for efficiency and compliance, using a mesh size of 1.00" (25mm), the minimum legal mesh size for recreational fishing in New Zealand waters (as of July 2017). The design ensures effectiveness while meeting all local regulations, making it ideal for responsible anglers.

Available in two durable material options—Mono and 6ply x 25mm x 100md—this net provides reliable strength and long-lasting performance. The fine mesh is perfectly suited for catching smaller schooling fish like piper and other baitfish, ensuring you have the best supply ready for targeting larger species.

Practical, compliant, and built for performance, the Piper Bait Fishing Net Mesh Unslung is a must-have for every serious fisherman who values both quality gear and sustainable fishing.
