Reel Tree & Reel Shrub

The Reel Tree is a molded plastic cone with over 267 feet of small pipe that forms the limbs. Each of the 89 branches is three feet long which makes the tree over 7 feet wide and 6 feet tall. The Reel Tree was designed so that it could be fished through without any hookups, and since it is made of plastic, will never rot. However, it does float like a real tree so it can be weighted to the bottom or suspended at a particular depth. The presence of structure at different depths is important for lake management especially for the growth and propagation of bass and crappie. We recommend placing clusters of three to five trees in 6 to 8 feet of water.

Also known as 'The BaitMaker' The Reel Shrub is a shallow water cover structure geared toward protecting and providing spawning habitat for baitfish. The most important factor to growing trophy game fish in private ponds and lakes is producing lots of forage fish. The Reel Shrub measures 5 feet in diameter and about 22 inches tall with 90 tubes (totaling 140 feet) that spring up from the dome base. Clusters of three or more units should be placed in shallow water 2' to 3' deep where it will provide escape cover for juvenile baitfish and a breeding ground for plankton, insects, and forage fish.
