What you might want to try is drill a hole and add a weight to act as ballast so the light is always on top then run your rope straight through and weight the end of the rope so it sinks down and the rope free flows through, so the float can rise and fall without pulling on the trap or having alot floating stuff on the surface. All lessons learned from last season as my first season hooping as well. Also build a pvc rack for your nets it makes a huge difference.
