Hooping puller? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

A lot of guys swear by their Scotty Trap-Eze. Bad backs and bad shoulders seem to find it easier. I use it in water deeper than 50' or so.
Hooping at 85' for crabs it really seems to help... but in shallow water 35' or less it seems quicker to just grab the line, gently pull the slack out then pull like hell if your using the classic style flat nets.
It works great on a small skiff like the PA to get the line away from the boat and prevents friction rope burns on the plastic or gelcoat.
