Buy a Mullet Net in NZ — Complete Guide to Sizes, Mesh & Where to Get One
Looking to buy a mullet net in NZ? You're in the right place. Action Outdoors manufactures every mullet net right here in Auckland — the same workshop that supplies NZ commercial fishermen and the Pacific Islands. Free shipping NZ-wide.
🎣 "Feed the Family" — that's what mullet netting is all about. Whether you're stocking the smoker or filling the freezer, this guide covers everything you need to know before buying your first (or next) mullet net.
What Type of Mullet Net Do You Need?
There are two main types of mullet net used in New Zealand:
1. Mullet Set Nets (Most Popular)
Set nets are anchored in position and left to fish passively. The net hangs like a curtain in the water — mullet swim into it and get tangled by the gills. This is the most common method for recreational fishers.
- Best for: Harbours, estuaries, river mouths, channels
- How it works: Set and leave for a few hours (check every 12 hours minimum per MPI rules)
- Mesh size: 90mm or 100mm (both legal nationwide)
- Lengths available: 20m, 30m, 40m, 60m, 100m

2. Mullet Drag Nets
Drag nets (also called beach seine nets) are actively pulled through the water by two people. Great for shallow beaches, sandbars, and river flats.
- Best for: Sandy beaches, shallow estuaries, river flats
- How it works: Two people drag the net through shallow water
- Mesh size: 85mm, 90mm, or 100mm
- Lengths available: 20m, 30m, 40m
Mullet Net Sizing Guide — Which Length Do You Need?
| Net Length | Best For | Price From |
|---|---|---|
| 20m | Small estuaries, tight spots, beginners | $115 |
| 30m | Most popular — covers good ground, easy to manage solo | $133 |
| 40m | Bigger harbours, river mouths | $160 |
| 60m | Serious fishing — harbours, channels, commercial-grade | $230 |
| 100m | Maximum coverage — experienced fishers, big areas | $420 |
Our recommendation: Start with a 30m net. It's the most popular length — long enough to cover good ground, but still easy to set and pick up on your own.
Mono vs Multi-Mono Mesh — What's the Difference?
Mono Mesh (Single Strand)
- Thinner, more invisible in water
- Good catch rate in clear water
- More affordable
- Slightly less durable
→ Mullet Nets Mono 20m–100m from $133
Multi-Mono Mesh (Twisted Multi-Strand)
- Stronger, more durable — lasts longer
- Better at holding larger fish
- Slightly higher catch rate in dirty water
- Preferred by experienced fishers
→ Mullet & Snapper Multi-Mono from $126
Floating Mullet Nets
Floating nets sit at the surface — ideal for targeting mullet schooling near the top of the water in harbours and estuaries.
→ NZ Made Floating Mono Mullet from $230
→ 60m Floating Multi-Mono Mullet $475
MPI Rules for Mullet Nets (2026)
Before you buy, make sure you know the rules:
- Minimum mesh size: 100mm (set nets in most areas). Some areas allow 90mm for drag nets only.
- Maximum net length: 60m per person (recreational). Two people = 120m combined.
- Must check every 12 hours (dawn and dusk recommended).
- Must be marked with your name and contact details at each end.
- Set net bans: Check your local area — some harbours have seasonal or permanent set net bans (e.g., parts of Hauraki Gulf, Porirua Harbour).
