Description
Garbolino Deluxe Legless Big Fish Cradle
The Garbolino Deluxe Legless Big Fish Cradle represents the “New Generation” of fish care for the dedicated commercial match angler. Specifically engineered to save space without compromising on fish welfare, this cradle features a unique legless design that utilizes Garbolino’s ultra-strong Multigrip system. By attaching directly to your seatbox, it removes the need for bulky separate legs, saving you time during setup and reducing your transport weight.
This “Deluxe” model offers a deep, secure “nest” for the fish, providing a generous landing area that comfortably accommodates large Carp, Sturgeon, and double-figure Bream. Its high-sided shape is designed to naturally calm the fish and prevent it from sliding or flapping off the mat, ensuring that unhooking is done with maximum safety and efficiency at a comfortable working height.

Examples of Where to Use
-
Match Fishing on Platforms: Ideal for wooden or plastic platforms where traditional unhooking mats can slide around; this cradle stays locked to your seatbox.
-
Specimen Commercial Lakes: The deep-walled design is perfect for handling large, energetic carp that require extra security during unhooking.
-
Tight Pegs: Because it doesn’t require its own footprint on the ground, it’s perfect for narrow canal banks or tight swims where floor space is at a premium.
Pro Tip from Gerry’s Fishing
The Efficiency Workflow: To make the most of the Deluxe Legless Cradle, position it on the same side as your landing net handle. By having the cradle at seatbox height, you can lift the fish out of the water and place it directly into the padded zone without ever having to stand up or bend down to the floor. This “seated unhooking” not only saves your back during a busy session but also ensures the fish is back in the water or keepnet in record time
