Pacific Island Fishing Nets — Feed the Family with NZ's Only Specialist Supplier

Feed the Family with Pacific Island Fishing Nets — NZ's Only Specialist Supplier

Across the Pacific Islands — Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Cook Islands, Vanuatu and beyond — fishing nets aren't just gear. They're how families eat. A single net can feed a village, put protein on the table every day, and last for years when it's built right.

At Action Outdoors, we're New Zealand's only specialist manufacturer of heavy-duty fishing nets designed for Pacific Island conditions. Our nets are built tougher — thicker mono, deeper mesh drops, reef-ready construction — because we know exactly what Pacific waters demand.

That's why fishermen travel from Australia, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, and the Cook Islands specifically to buy from us in Auckland before heading home. You simply can't get these nets anywhere else.

Why Pacific Island Families Choose Action Outdoors Nets

🏭 Made in Auckland, Built for the Pacific

Every net is manufactured right here in Auckland, New Zealand. We don't import cheap nets and resell them — we build them ourselves using heavy-duty Japanese mono filament specifically chosen for tropical reef environments. Our nets are:

• Thicker mono (0.50mm to 0.90mm) — won't shred on coral and reef
• UV-stabilised — handles intense tropical sun without breaking down
• Deep mesh drops (20md to 50md) — catches more fish per set
• Available in lengths from 20m to 450m — from family nets to commercial operations

🐟 Target Species Across the Pacific

Our nets are designed to catch the species that feed Pacific Island families every day:

• Milkfish (Ava/Awa) — the staple protein across Samoa, Tonga, and Fiji. Our 3-inch and 3.5-inch heavy-duty nets are purpose-built for milkfish
• Mullet — found in every lagoon and estuary. Our mullet nets in 90mm and 100mm mesh work perfectly in tropical waters
• Reef fish — parrotfish, surgeonfish, rabbitfish and more. Our heavy-duty 0.70mm mono handles the reef environment
• Herring & bait fish — smaller mesh nets (2-inch to 3-inch) for catching bait and smaller species for the family table
• Tuna & larger pelagics — our 6-inch and 6.5-inch heavy-duty mesh for commercial-scale operations

Complete Nets vs Unslung Mesh — What's Right for You?

Ready-to-Fish Complete Nets

Our complete Pacific Island nets come fully constructed with rope, floats, and lead line — ready to fish straight out of the bag. Available in:

• 2-inch heavy-duty (0.60mm) — bait fish and small reef species, 30m to 100m
• 2.5-inch heavy-duty (0.50mm-0.60mm) — versatile all-rounder for lagoon fishing
• 3-inch heavy-duty (0.50mm-0.70mm) — mullet, milkfish, medium reef fish
• 3.5-inch heavy-duty (0.70mm) — larger milkfish and reef species
• 4-inch heavy-duty (0.70mm) — big reef fish and larger species

Unslung Mesh — Build Your Own or Repair

For experienced net-makers or repairs, our unslung heavy-duty mesh comes in bulk rolls (120m to 450m). Perfect for:

• Building custom nets to your exact specifications
• Repairing existing nets — just cut and tie in new panels
• Commercial operations needing large quantities
• Village co-ops buying mesh in bulk to share

How Much Can a Family Save?

In the Pacific Islands, fresh fish at the market can cost $15-$30 NZD per kilo. A family eating fish 4-5 times per week might spend $100-$200+ weekly on protein.

A single heavy-duty net pays for itself in 1-2 weeks of fishing. After that, every fish is free protein for the family — for years.
