New Zealand´s deep water fishing fleet arguably one of the most modern in the world, and like those from many isolated Island nations New Zealand fisherman over the years have had to rely on their resourcefulness, innovation and tenacity to make a success of catching fish in some of the most inhospitable oceans of the world.

This we have done to the stage where we have developed the fleet we have today.  Involved from the outset in the development, designing and producing the gear demanded by this fleet have been key personnel at "Motueka Nets".

Advantages that can be offered.

• Trawls built to a very high standard and of the best quality materials.  This quality is demanded by the local industry. The ability of the local marine industry in providing high quality marine componentry, quality ropes and yarns is testified to by what the woarld was recently able to witness in how we successfully defended yachting´s America´s cup.

• Though quality is demanded this does not come at a high cost for our export market. Our relatively low exchange rate coupled with a low labor charge out, means that in countries with a much stronger currency they can avail themselves of a high quality though cost competitive product.

Stealth - Sem Pelagic Trawl

A very successful range of trawls we now have internationally is our wide bodied semi pelagic mid water "Stealth" which offers the following:

Effective both on and near the bottom and mid water trawling.

Proven effective on a wide range of fish species.

Very low drag for trawl openings achieved.
