Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does it come with a carry bag?

Yes, the product includes a convenient carry case with a handle.

How much does the cradle weigh?

The cradle weighs 1.65kg, including the carry case and pegs.

Can I wash the padding?

The 40mm padding is detachable, which makes it easy to remove and wipe down or air out separately.

Are the pegs included?

Yes, two bivvy pegs are included to secure the cradle to the bank.

Is this suitable for very large carp?

The 250 model is sized for standard carp; very large specimens may require a larger cradle for full support.

Troubleshooting

The frame feels uneven on the ground.

Adjust the ground surface to be as level as possible and use the included bivvy pegs to pull the frame taut.

Water pooling in the base.

Ensure the drainage mesh is not blocked by debris and that the cradle is sitting on a slight incline if necessary to encourage runoff.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Extremely lightweight at 1.65kg
Fast pop-up assembly process
Includes essential accessories like bivvy pegs and carry case
Excellent fish safety via 40mm thick base padding
Space-saving design for anglers with limited gear capacity

Cons

Not as rigid as heavy-duty frame cradles
Pegging is required on uneven or windy banks for stability
Size is specific to standard-sized carp, may be tight for extra-large specimens

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up, remove the cradle from its carry bag and allow the frame to expand naturally. Ensure the padded base is correctly positioned and flat. When packing away, ensure the unit is dry to prevent mold growth; the padding can be detached for faster drying. If the material becomes soiled, wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild, fish-safe detergent. Store in a cool, dry place inside the provided carry case. While the cradle is compatible with almost all standard fishing chairs and trolleys, ensure it is packed at the top of your barrow to avoid crushing the frame components.
