32" vs 36" hoopnets? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I hoop with a hobie outback. Peddle up to the float (going up current or up wind) on the hoop with a little speed, grab the rope toward the hoop put it on the trapeez (lightly and take up the slack) and I am usually straite over the hoop net by that time, then I am ready to pull like hell.

The good thing about a trapeez is you pull toward you, instead of strait up giving your boat rope burn. With a trapeez you have more controll and faster pulling = more water pressure keeping the buggs in the bottom of the net = more bugs.

Good luck hoopin when the season starts.

Take it easy!
