HDPE PE Multifilament Gillnet 380D-3800D — Double Knot Wholesale Fishing Supplies
Every gillnet buyer eventually faces the nylon-versus-PE question, and the answer is not one-sided. Nylon is stronger per denier and stretches; PE costs less, floats, absorbs almost no water and shrugs off sunlight. This PE gillnet spans the industrial range — 380D for sardine-class work up to 3800D for tuna — which is why many fleets standardize on it.
Why Fleets Buy PE
- PE resists UV better than nylon — longer marine service life under constant sun exposure
- Naturally buoyant — the twine adds less weight, so the net hangs with fewer floats on the headline
- Low water absorption — dries fast, weighs less out of the water, freights cheaper per kilo
- 380D–3800D in one range — one supplier for sardine, herring and tuna programs, with consistent sourcing
- Double-knotted, industrial grade — mesh holds through repeated commercial sets
- Mesh 20–300 mm custom — matched to your species and regulations

Denier by Duty
Denier is durability — match it to the fishery: 380–500D suits small pelagics and shallow coastal sets where lightness matters; 1000–1500D is the all-round coastal range most fleets standardize on; 2000D+ is for heavy offshore work and tuna-class species where the net must survive repeated hard hauling. One note before you switch from nylon: PE stretches less, so the hanging coefficient is different — send your net plan and we will confirm the correct ratio.
