32" vs 36" hoopnets?

[slayersmith]

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!

Phughes,

I tried one and wasnt a fan. Just not for me. If you or anyone wants a trapeeze, I will sell you mine for $20 (no mount), or trade it for some fishing stuff. If I remeber correctly I paid $35 for it at OEX.


I think on a Hobie they are probably pretty ideal, since you can use your feet to peddle and keep your hands free.

Bug season is only 8 days away!!!
