Build a shallow nursery with two kinds of dense refuge
Give fry and forage fish varied shelter around a dock, shoreline or spawning area with four complementary Cradle habitats. Two strand densities create different small openings, helping turn separate units into a connected patch of artificial fish habitat for freshwater ponds, lakes and reservoirs.
Two originals plus two Ultra Fine units
- Two original Cradles and two self-opening Ultra Fine Cradles
- Recommended freshwater depth for both models: 2–6 feet
- Ultra Fine Cradle: 30 inches tall and 60 inches wide when open
- Approximately 10 pounds each
- Cement built into every base
- Original Cradle: more than 30 square feet of surface area per unit, as listed for this pack
- Ultra Fine Cradle: approximately 40 square feet per unit
Why choose a mixed pack?
You get variation rather than four identical clusters. Larry Holmes reported seeing fry hide inside the cover near his shallow dock and shoreline spawning area. Sam T described smaller fish using the dense interior while bass moved around the outside.
Do all four open the same way?
No. Bend the original Cradle strands by hand; remove the ties from the pre-bent Ultra Fine Cradles and let them open. Keep adjacent branches overlapping or nearly touching to create protected routes. All four are already self-weighted: no separate ballast or anchor is needed.
See the individual original Cradle and Ultra Fine Cradle pages to compare the two strand densities included in this pack.
