Give panfish and bass dense, permanent shallow cover
Create three large, finished fish cribs for shallow freshwater placements—under a dock, along a spawning flat or on an exposed lake bed. Hundreds of reclaimed PVC pieces per barrel open into refuge, feeding surface and travel spaces for fish of many sizes.
Three completed barrel cribs
- Just over 150 pounds each; approximately 48 inches tall
- Opens more than 7 feet wide
- 20-inch diameter cement base with two cotton rope handles
- Hundreds of individually positioned reclaimed PVC pieces per unit
- Ships together on one pallet
Will they hold in current?
Ronny reported his habitat barrel was heavy enough to stay in the current and easy to install. Stability comes from the broad cement-filled base; no separate anchor or ballast is needed. Roll the barrels on edge, use a two-wheel dolly or slide them from a dock, and partially set the base into the bottom in strong current.
What will use them?
Hank Jones reported bait and all sizes of different fish on his barrels—more than any other cover in his lake. The Hanson Family placed theirs under a dock and reported a “fish zoo” with jumping fish and kids catching panfish. Shape the branches at the placement site to create three varied clusters.
