The Sea-Harvester New Zealand Eel Fyke Net 3 Funnel is a purpose-built trapping system designed for reliable eel catching in rivers, streams, and shallow estuaries. Crafted from tough nylon, this Fyke net stands up to field conditions—snags, weed, and temprate waterways—while keeping your bait and catch secure.
Key design features that set this net apart:
- Three-funnel configuration with strategic traps along the funnels to minimize escape and maximize catch retention.
- Lead-in length over 2 metres guides eels smoothly into the funnels, improving capture rates without requiring constant repositioning.
- Total length: 10 ft for efficient coverage in flowing water while remaining portable for easy transport and deployment.
- Five stainless steel rings (400 mm diameter) preserve the net’s shape and provide sturdy anchoring points during use.
- Comes with 15 sinkers and 5 floats to tailor buoyancy and depth, so the net sits correctly in varied currents and depths.
- Three traps throughout the funnels add an extra layer of security to prevent eels from slipping back out.
- Durable nylon construction delivers long-lasting performance in wet environments and makes maintenance straightforward.
Who is this for?
Ideal for anglers and foragers who regularly pursue New Zealand’s eels in freshwater systems. Whether you’re stocking a keep pond, building a local eel population fishery, or simply enjoying a productive day on the river, this Fyke net offers dependable trapping without constant adjustment.
How it solves common problems
- Escape prevention: the triple-trap design reduces chances of eels slipping free after entry.
- Ease of deployment: the long lead-in and robust rings make setup quick, even in modest currents.
- Durability in rough conditions: rugged nylon resists wear from snaggy banks and debris while maintaining shape.
Practical tips for optimal use
- Position the net in a steady current with the lead-in facing upstream to guide eels efficiently.
- Adjust buoyancy with the included floats to keep the mouth just below the surface where eels are most active.
- Secure the sinkers to anchor the net firmly in windy or choppy conditions and prevent drift.
- Inspect the funnels and traps after every use to ensure there are no blockages and that escape routes are sealed.
- Rinse with fresh water after use and dry thoroughly before storing to extend nylon life.
Built for performance and trusted by anglers who demand durable, reliable gear, the New Zealand Eel Fyke Net 3 Funnel from Sea-Harvester delivers practical trapping capability with thoughtful details that enhance every fishing session.
