PA Owners + hooping

What is the best method for pulling the nets?

In my old kayak I would just pull directly up but the kayak had a width of 28". The pa is much wider so I feel I will need to lean over too much? Or do you just pull against the rail?

I've seen the scotty trap ease but not sure where to mount for maximum sturdiness.

The trap ease is totally worth the investment. Makes pulling a breeze.

The trap ease is one of the best investments you can make for hooping. You'll need more than the trap ease to make it work but once you puzzle it all together you'll be glad you made the investment.

Here's what you'll need:

Scotty trap-ease puller
Scotty locking side deck mount
Yakattack mighty mount kit
Yakattack geartrack

Like I said, it won't be cheap but ~IMO~setting yourself up with the gear listed above is the way to go

Thanks! Like with many things in life, you need to pay extra for convenience. Looks like I will be getting the scotty trap ease!

Just wondering why do you guys have it on the gear trac. Also my rails are longer so it looks like I need to mount it further up.

Using the geartrac allows you to adjust the location on the trap ease and any other accessories that you will be adding. If you go without the track and mount the deck mount directly to the boards you won't have the ability to adjust it without removing it and reinstalling it.

If you get the geartrac (which I strongly recommend) mount it on the outside of the boards, mounting it on the inside will give you a springboard effect.

Thanks for replying back.

I got a random pic online but see how the rails are much longer than what I saw in fulracs pics.

Looks like I would still need to overreach. Hmm maybe I am just ovethinking this.
