Looks fun!

I am thinking of buying packraft starter pack, how does TPU Nylon handle fishing hooks? Anyone got experience? How do these handle windy conditions?

I always felt weird about the term 'packrafting'. It sounds almost as if it was implied the trip was avout going rafting but in a packraft. In that case just get a proper kajak and go rafting.
Meanwhile the idea of a packraft, IMO, is to have a raft that packs down, so you can take it backpacking and deploy it when you need or perhaps want to.
IMO there isn't many use cases for one. Most bodies of water in most places are just such that you can go around them or over by means of a bridge.
But I do see that in some places going around isn't always feasible.
Anyways, the point remains: Kinda weird to go packrafting instead of backpacking and taking a packraft along. Just go rafting.

I've done this for several weeks.
It's like kayaking in a really, really shitty kayak you could theoretically carry with you on foot, which literally no one ever does, cause when you carry all the shit you actually need for whitewater, you can't carry much else.
So you can't hike with it. You can only go short distances, and at that point you might as well carry a kayak.

folding kayaks are a cool hybrid between these and normal kayaks. biggest pro is you don't need to spend $500 on a roof rack. Unfortunately they have shit tracking bc the bottom is flat.

vs

https://www.vesiurheilu.fi/collections/packraft/products/packraft-trek-viininpunainen-yleismalli


Which one to get?

I'm not you and my lriorities might be vastly different but if I was to get myself one it would be the first one. Simply for how it packs down.
That being said the vendor of number 2 did a bad job showing how it packs down.
Idk, but if you go to >>>/out/ for example and check what some people are doing it's almost like larpers have no concept of needing to pack things.
Then again: Priorities. If driving an automobile to within a few km of a spot and then walking there in order to spend a night outside and drive back the next day is thwir goal... well I guess in that case it doesn't really matter and you might aswell bring a ping ping table, sewing machine and a floor jack if you feel so inclined.
