Harvester is considered an ocean-going vessel & you will be
required to put your name and contact details on your Fish Harvester before you
use it.

fishing regulations at www.fish.govt.nz before using the fish harvester.
- We recommend listing
your Fish Harvester among belongings within your Contents Insurance, in case
anything happens to it while at sea.

in the event your Fish Harvester is picked up and handed in by other fisherman.

Fishing Regulation
- The maximum number of traces allowed on a long line in New Zealand is 25. The Fish Harvester Trace Rack holds 28, so 3 should be treated as spares only.
- In some parts of New Zealand, longline fishing is further restricted or even prohibited, and fishing limits also vary - so you must be aware of all specific local regulations when you plan your expedition.
