Meet the AFM-10 Mullet Mesh Unslung 90mm, a purpose-built mullet fishing net from Action Fishing Nets designed for dependable results in NZ and Pacific Island waters. This unslung 90mm opening net is engineered for efficient set and drag operations, delivering consistent catches while staying adaptable to changing tides and fish behavior.

Key specifications that matter on the water

• Opening size: 90 mm (3.5 inches) – optimized to target mullet while preserving strong bycatch control.
• Mesh diameter and strength: 0.50 mesh diameter with a 30 lb breaking strength for reliable tension and resilience in currents.
• Length and configuration: 120 meters long; deploy as a single 60-meter net or split into two usable 30-meter nets for flexible set or drag setups.
• Depth and height: Approximately 25 meshes deep and about 2 meters high, providing substantial volume without excessive weight.
• Unslung design: Quick deployment and versatile rigging for responsive layouts in variable waters.
• Regulatory alignment: Suitable for NZ and Pacific Island mullet fishing; compliant for grey mullet and kahawai harvesting in NZ under local practices.
• Deployment versatility: Functions as a traditional set net to anchor and corral mullet or as a drag net to sweep targeted schools across shallow shelves and tidal flats.

Why the AFM-10 stands out

The AFM-10 is built for efficiency, consistency, and regulatory awareness on busy coastal nets. Its 120-meter length offers deployment flexibility across rivers, estuaries, and nearshore zones, while the 2-meter-high profile enhances visibility and handling when managing multiple nets. The unslung construction enables rapid layout adjustments to tides and fish behavior, reducing downtime and increasing catch opportunities for commercial operators, coastal fishers, and dedicated hobbyists targeting grey mullet and kahawai in NZ and the Pacific.

Practical use and care for long-term performance

Plan your layout based on water depth and tidal patterns, test rigging in calm conditions before committing to a full deployment, and rinse with fresh water after saltwater use to extend the net’s life. Always verify local regulations and mesh usage rules before deploying to ensure compliant harvesting. For predictable results, consider our factory guidance—replicate the Auckland slung/hung ratio (six mesh over 250 mm) to create a 60-meter net from the same material if you need a shorter configuration.

Who this net is ideal for

Designed for commercial operators seeking reliable mullet captures, coastal fishers pursuing grey mullet or kahawai, and serious hobbyists working in NZ and Pacific waters. The AFM-10’s unslung design, combined with its robust 120-meter length and 90mm opening, provides a practical, adaptable tool for set and drag fishing alike—delivering steady performance across rivers, estuaries, and nearshore habitats.
