Piper Drag Nets 6ply 25mm Green Mesh – NZ-Ready Bait Net

The Green 6‑ply Piper Drag Net is built for NZ waters, designed for coastal anglers and commercial crews who chase piper and other baitfish. With a 25 mm (1 inch) mesh and six‑ply construction, it balances strong catch potential with durable, long‑lasting performance.

• Mesh size: 25 mm (1 inch) square mesh for efficient capture of piper and common baitfish while maintaining structural integrity.
• Construction: 6‑ply synthetic material delivers rugged wear resistance, reducing snags and tears across repeated drags (rated to 100MD).
• Bottom rope with lead core: Heavy bottom rope provides stability and straight tracking, helping the net stay on the intended sweep path.
• Top rope and floats: Fully floated top line with multiple floats keeps the mouth open and the net buoyant for quick deployment and easier retrieval, with less fouling in weeds or rocky zones.
• Depth/drag depth: Deep drag capability tailored to NZ conditions, enabling access to deeper schools and better retention on the sweep.
• Length options: Available from 10 m to 40 m, with the option for custom longer lengths to suit boat size and haul expectations.
• Target species & versatility: Optimised for piper bait, yet highly effective for herrings, yellow-eyed mullet, sprats, and yellowtails across calm bays to offshore channels.
• Material & color: Green, durable mesh that balances visibility with resilience in both muddy estuaries and clear inshore waters.

This net is designed to reduce downtime and extend fishing sessions. The 6‑ply construction and 25 mm mesh maximize catch opportunities while maintaining strong, repair‑friendly material. The heavy bottom rope paired with a floating top line delivers a predictable, snag‑resistant drag, so you can cover more ground with confidence. Use longer lengths for wider sweeps in deeper channels or around rocky substrates, and always rinse with fresh water after use and dry completely before storage to preserve the synthetic fibers. Regularly inspect the bottom rope for wear and fraying to ensure continued stability on future drags.
