Product Information
Full details
The Nytro Cradle is an essential piece of equipment for specimen anglers who prioritize fish welfare during unhooking and photography. Designed for coarse fishing, it provides a safe, heavily padded environment that minimizes the risk of injury to the fish while on the bank. While its generous size offers excellent protection for larger catches, users should keep in mind that its fixed dimensions require adequate space during transport compared to smaller, lighter unhooking mats.
