Promar Hoop Net repair - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have a brand new Promar Ambush Net that I left out on my patio and a rat chewed it up pretty good

Looks like Promar doesn't sell a repair kit for their nets and a quick Google search doesn't bring up anyone else selling them either.

I tried fixing it with 40lb mono but it looks like ass, especially where the holes are really big.

What do you guys use to repair your hoop nets?

I'm sure you could weave new nylon polyester thread material... but on the water if I discover holes from rocks or seals I use zip ties to close the holes. Fast easy and still have ties on a couple of hoops from last season and the work.

I use nylon braid to fix my nets which is stronger than the original material.

Could you buy some netting material to make a patch? I'm sure bulk fishing net is available online in a variety of styles and material. You might contact Promar and inquire if they have a repair kit available despite not listing one for retail.

Could cannibalize something like this:

We sell twine and netting here at my work. Mainly used for batting cages but will work the same
