Hooping puller?
Are hoop net puller worthwhile on kayaks? If so which one works best? Do they put to much stress on the kayak at the mounting points? If they aren’t worthwhile do people just pull the rope against the hull? I'm thinking about installing a puller or maybe build an acrylic hull protector so the rope doesn’t rub directly against the kayak.. fficeffice" />

I thought about it too but since3 I paddle. It would create so much extra work

I don't know many people that use pullers. I tried making one on my own but it seemed to be more trouble than it was worth, It's so much easier to just grab the line and start pulling.

I originally bought one of the scotty pullers and used it...and didn't like it at first on my stealth, but I tried it again last season on my PA and it is pretty bitchen! I found it especially useful for dropping 50 feet or more, makes it a lot easier and smoother. I'll try to post up a picture of it set up on the PA tomorrow since I don't have the puller here with me today.

Pullers
A lot of guys swear by their Scotty Trap-Eze. Bad backs and bad shoulders seem to find it easier. I use it in water deeper than 50' or so.
Hooping at 85' for crabs it really seems to help... but in shallow water 35' or less it seems quicker to just grab the line, gently pull the slack out then pull like hell if your using the classic style flat nets. It works great on a small skiff like the PA to get the line away from the boat and prevents friction rope burns on the plastic or gelcoat. Jim / Saba Slayer |

No, imo.
Plus it's fun feeling the big lobsters kicking. |

Here it is, if your interested. Scotty trap-eze, mounted to my yak attack rails. Works pretty damn good.
