Faulty Promar Ambush Net

Bought a new trap from bass pro when I was cruising thru town. After I got home (2.5 hr ride in the truck bed), noticed two of the weldings for the upright bars came undone. I was fiddling with it while rigging and had already made crab plans to go the very next day. But 15 mins into my drive, I noticed the net loose and flopping in the wind in my rear view. So I pulled over and abandoned mission. The net had halfway slipped off the frame and had not been fully stitched at the bottom, shearing off about 1/3 of the bottom fiber stitching and loosely hanging out of the back of the bed. Luckily no one was on the road with me in the AM.

Never even dropped in the ocean. Admittedly sat in the back of the truck in the box for a few days still Un-inspected until I was rigging up the day before.
Anyone have any similar experiences?

Edit: for clarity

More angles. I plan to ship it back as the drive wouldn’t be justifiable on its own.

too bad, yeah, looks like a bad weld. I have 6 of them for a few years now - have been happy with them.  Hopefully BP and ProMar will take care of you.

If you still have the receipt you can probably bring it back to BP and get a new one.
I had a mini gaff that came loose at the hook and they let me get another one.
BP is pretty good about exchanges due to defects.

You might also want to contact Promar directly by telephone (310) 515-8881 or email us at [email protected]  They were very responsive when I had a question before.
I currently own 10 hoop nets (5 in LA and 5 in Sacramento) and never had an issue.
