Strong Pacific Island Fishing Nets – 2.5 Inch x 0.60mm Mono (60lb Strength)
The Strong Pacific Island Fishing Nets are purpose-built for demanding tropical fishing environments, offering unmatched durability, strength, and performance. Designed specifically for Pacific Island fisheries, these nets are ideal for catching mullet, reef fish, and other inshore species found in lagoons, reefs, and coastal channels.
Manufactured from 0.60mm monofilament nylon line with a 60lb breaking strain, these heavy-duty nets are built to endure the harsh marine conditions of the islands, where coral, current, and rocky terrain often challenge ordinary nets.
Premium Strength and Durability
Each Strong Pacific Island Fishing Net features a 2.5-inch mesh size, providing the perfect balance for capturing mid-sized reef and channel fish without tearing or stretching under load. The high-strength monofilament construction ensures exceptional resistance to abrasion, saltwater corrosion, and UV exposure—key factors in tropical fishing environments.
The 0.60mm thick mono twine delivers superior toughness compared to standard New Zealand mesh, making it perfect for blocking small tidal channels or setting around coral structures. With a 60lb breaking strain, this mesh can withstand powerful fish strikes and drag resistance while maintaining its shape and integrity.
Optimised Design for Island Fishing
Each net is expertly rigged and ready to fish. Standing 40 meshes deep (approximately 2.2 metres high), it offers excellent vertical coverage, ensuring fish remain securely trapped within the mesh. The 2.5-inch (63mm) mesh openings are perfectly sized for mullet, reef snapper, and parrotfish, among other common island species.
The net is equipped with a 7mm top rope for strength and easy handling, fitted with floats every 1 metre to maintain buoyancy and correct positioning in the water. The bottom rope features a heavy-duty lead core, ensuring the net sits securely along the seafloor, preventing fish escape while staying stable in current or wind.
This combination of floatation and weighting provides excellent balance and easy deployment, even in tidal or rough water conditions.
Available Length Options
The Strong Pacific Island Fishing Net comes in a variety of practical lengths to suit different fishing setups and environments:
- 30 Metres – Ideal for smaller boats or short channel blocks.
- 40 Metres – Excellent for compact reef setups or nearshore fishing.
- 50 Metres – A versatile mid-range length for general-purpose island fishing.
- 60 Metres – Perfect for wider channels and lagoon settings.
- 100 Metres – Heavy-duty option for large-scale netting or cooperative use.
Custom lengths can also be made to order, allowing you to match your specific fishing conditions and local regulations. Whether you’re fishing solo, with a crew, or supporting community operations, there’s a length option to suit your needs.
Uses and Applications
These nets are designed explicitly for Pacific Island use—not for New Zealand—due to their heavy gauge mesh and strong construction. The thicker mono is too robust for gill fishing in NZ waters, but ideal for tropical applications such as:
- Blocking small channels between coral formations or mangrove passages
- Fishing on reef edges or shallow lagoon areas
- Catching mullet, reef fish, and baitfish for commercial or community use
- Community or subsistence fishing, where durability and reusability are critical
In these island settings, the Pacific Island Net's strength and structure make it ideal for repeated use in harsh conditions without significant wear or tear.
Benefits of the Strong Pacific Island Fishing Net
1. Heavy-Duty Strength
Built with 60lb-rated 0.60mm monofilament nylon, the net withstands rough terrain, coral abrasion, and strong fish pressure, ensuring reliability in every set.
2. Long Service Life
The corrosion-resistant mono line and quality rope rigging reduce degradation from salt, UV exposure, and constant use, extending the net’s lifespan.
3. Easy Handling
The integrated top rope and evenly spaced floats ensure smooth deployment and retrieval, while the weighted lead-core bottom keeps the net properly oriented underwater.
4. Stable in Current
Even in moderate to strong tidal flows, the combination of buoyant and weighted design ensures consistent positioning for optimal fish capture.
5. Flexible Use Options
Available in multiple lengths from 30m to 100m, or custom-made sizes, allowing fishers to choose the perfect setup for their location and target species.
6. Excellent Catch Efficiency
The 2.5-inch mesh size provides effective retention of mullet and reef fish while minimising unwanted bycatch and net drag.
7. Ideal for Community Fishing
Strong and reusable, these nets are widely used by communities across the Pacific Islands for shared fishing operations, supporting sustainable food gathering.
