2015 outback hoop net carry idea
Does anyone carry their hoop nets on bow of an outback?
If so how do you do it? DIY hoop net holder? Thank you in advance! 45 |

Was out on the water with the fleet of kayak hoopers last night and I saw quite a few outbacks with homemade pvc pipe racks. Not sure exactly how they secured it to the bow but I assume bungees. Saw a few mount it in the stern and it looks like they made it so they can insert into the molded rod holders in the rear. Hope that helps.

I landed 5, buddy grabbed 4. Called it quits around 9. Between the two of us we probably pulled 60+ shorts. Many just by a hair.

Only carry on bow. Square pvc rack. Basically bend forward and lift out. If you can’t do a sit and reach then it might be tough

PVC for sure...
I used 1/2 inch. Made it so the PVC rack sits inside scupper holes in the rear. The bungees help keep it secure too. make the rack holder a little bitter than the nets and as you cut and glue follow the contour of the kayak.
Used the same rack on my 2017 that I did on my 2010. Only upgrade would be to use 3/4 inch. I think more secure. I thought I had a diagram or picture if I do I'll post. Last edited by DanaPT; 10-05-2020 at 10:09 AM. Reason: update image. . . |
