I thought about it too but since3 I paddle. It would create so much extra work

I don't know many people that use pullers. I tried making one on my own but it seemed to be more trouble than it was worth, It's so much easier to just grab the line and start pulling.

I originally bought one of the scotty pullers and used it...and didn't like it at first on my stealth, but I tried it again last season on my PA and it is pretty bitchen! I found it especially useful for dropping 50 feet or more, makes it a lot easier and smoother. I'll try to post up a picture of it set up on the PA tomorrow since I don't have the puller here with me today.

Pullers
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. Jim / Saba Slayer |

No, imo.
Plus it's fun feeling the big lobsters kicking. |

I use the trap eze Scotty puller and love it,especially on the deeper pulls. I have mine mounted on the side trail in the middle over the hold down screw on the very edge where it's the most stable. And yes, you can feel the lobster tail thumps in the trap

Here it is, if your interested. Scotty trap-eze, mounted to my yak attack rails. Works pretty damn good.

That really seems like it would either rock your boat or rip off your sideboards

That is a bitchen' feeling for sure, though big skates and fish can fool you sometimes.
We both like hand pulling, though Julie is not keen on pulling 5 nets in a row, at depths over 30 feet, and I can't blame her, it is taxing. Aaron
