I stack em on my hobie tank and secure them by putting two PVC pipes through the mesh into the rod holders. Sooooo easy

Maybe you need to get one, think? Would make the Catalina trip easier if you got the right one. Faster and safer too!

Chris, I can't remember if we hooped together last season or not, but I stack mine on top of a crate with half inch PVC sticking up like stakes in the ground. It's kind of a pain, but the bugs fit nicely in the crate under the hoops.

I think I might rig something up like this if I find some time here soon.

I use my game clip to secure my nets to the kayak. Stack your nets on the yak, run the arm of your clip on the inside of the larger rings while the nets are stacked, and close and secure the clip to the yak. I also place my nets on a PVC rack to keep them from sliding on and off the yak.

Game clip, bungees tie downs, pvc pipe. Man, all these years I've just been stacking them on the front third of my yak and paddling out. Never lost one yet. Guess I must be doing it wrong.
