Best Way to Get Your Desired Fishing Net

Products ranging from hook removers to landing nets have helped fishermen on the water during tournaments and weekend trips. While many species of fish can be easily brought into the boat by hand, tournament anglers with big fish on the line, or anglers who seek out toothy or large species will tell you that a good net is an invaluable asset. However, as with many fishing products, shopping for a landing net can be overwhelming at first.

If you had a small mesh set net produced by huailin fishing net manufacturer to catch sprats then any snapper caught would be too small to eat and if you had a snapper net to catch reasonable sized snapper, then fish like mullet, kahawai, sprats, and mackerel would swim straight through the mesh.

Here is one of the interesting things we found (quite by mistake I might add).  Once early on in the late 1970’s, I made a set net that had a very large mesh (145mm) compared to what all the other current fisherman were using close to Auckland.  A lot of fishermen used (116mm) mesh.  I had just moved from the Manukau Harbour, brought a bigger boat complete with nets and the previous owner had continued to work with me as a deckhand. The supplier had sent me the wrong size mesh so I thought I try it anyway.

Drag nets from China fishing net manufacturer for piper and bait fish you want the smallest legal mesh 1inch.  As this means you can release any fish un-harmed that you do not want.  If your mesh is too big then fish will gill themselves and will not survive being removed out of the net.

For herring drag nets with no piper we do 1.25,1.5, 2, 2.25, and 2.5 inch.  You need to work out what is best for your area or bay as fish sizes vary greatly from bay to bay.For herring & pilchard set nets the most common size is 2, 2.25 and 2.5 inch.  Some people use 3 inch.  Again only you can work out the best mesh size based on your experience as fish sizes vary greatly from bay to bay.
