Action Fishing Nets Mono Unslung Mesh 90mm 30lb 245m Roll for NZ Saltwater Anglers Durable High Performance
Build set and drag nets you can trust in coastal conditions. Action Fishing Nets’ Mono Unslung Mesh is a purpose-built netting roll designed around New Zealand and Pacific Island mullet and kahawai fisheries. With uniform 90 mm (3 1/2 inch) openings and a robust 30 lb mono, it delivers predictable in-water behavior, selective catch performance, and straightforward handling from shed to shoreline. What sets this mesh apart
- Consistent 90 mm openings support targeted mullet and kahawai passage while helping limit oversized bycatch, giving you a more efficient lift and cleaner sort on deck.
- Unslung construction arrives ready for you to hang to your preferred ratio—making layout, repair, and reconfiguration simpler than pre-slung options.
- 30 lb mono (approx. 0.50 diameter) balances abrasion resistance with manageable stiffness, so it fishes true without kinking and resists scuffs around shell, reef, and structure.
- Workable roll length at 245 m means fewer reorders and enough netting to craft multiple finished nets for a full season’s program.
- Optimized net height of 2.5 m provides generous fishing area while maintaining good water flow and drainage for steadier sets and hauls. Key specifications

Anglers and small commercial operators need a mesh that fishes consistently across tides, handles easily on the beach or boat, and keeps downtime to a minimum. The unslung mono design offers steady, repeatable mesh shapes in the water and fast repairs on shore. The 90 mm opening is proven for mullet and kahawai, striking a practical balance between catch rates and bycatch control so you spend less time sorting and more time fishing. Real-world use cases
- Beach and estuary sets: Reliable mesh geometry helps nets hang true with less twist, improving soak consistency in shifting surf and current.
- Harbour drags: Durable 30 lb mono stands up to contact with sand, shell hash, and occasional snags—ideal for repeat tows during bite windows.
- Season planning: A single 245 m roll supports multiple finished nets or one long build, giving you options as conditions and target sizes change. Build insights for better results
- Hanging ratio: Follow your standard slung/hung guidelines to achieve a finished net with the desired belly and lead alignment; as a local reference, six mesh over 270 mm commonly yields ~60 m finished length under typical Auckland practices.
- Rigging: Pair with quality float and lead lines matched to your current and depth to maintain a clean vertical wall and stable headline.
- Maintenance: Rinse in fresh water after salt, dry fully, and store shaded to reduce UV fatigue. Inspect for nicks and repair promptly to preserve mesh integrity. Who it’s ideal for
- NZ and Pacific Island anglers targeting grey mullet and kahawai with set or drag nets
- Operators who want the control of their own hang ratio and the simplicity of fast, predictable repairs
