- • Best for: Carp anglers practising catch-and-release who need a compact, transportable care cradle.

Padded cradle measures 90cm x 60cm with frame support and quick-drain mesh. Packs down to 65 x 47cm and comes with a heavy duty carry bag.
Secure fish handling - With soft, padded cradle and frame surround
Soft padding forms a cushioned centre while the surrounding frame keeps the sides upright and prevents collapse during lifting. Design reduces direct pressure on the carp's skin and scales.
Gentle, stable support makes inspection and photography quicker and safer for the fish and angler.
Faster water release - Thanks to quick drain mesh sections
Mesh panels are positioned to allow water to run out of the cradle rapidly rather than pooling inside. Drainage reduces retained water weight when lifting.
Quicker drainage shortens handling time and lowers the risk of stressing the fish.
Stable bank-side placement - With adjustable, pivoting mud feet
Pivoting mud feet adapt to uneven or soft ground and can be adjusted to keep the cradle level on sloping banks. Feet increase footprint stability when handling larger carp.
Consistent, level positioning reduces accidental tipping and makes safe handling easier on awkward banks.
