Other than the extremely quick to set-up, the cradle comes with another great feature that cares for you, the angler. The side of the cradle can be folder out to go on the floor and comfort your knees when kneeling down to unhook and take a couple of pictures of the fish. This keeps your clothes clean and your knees safe from sharp debris which would be especially effective when wearing some shorts in the summer months.

Advanta has planned for when carping in the hotter seasons, providing another side flap to cover the main area of the cradle when the fish would lay. This makes a shelter for the fish during the short time you are having them out of the water. The cradle-like the structure of the design means water will stay central with the fish offering a more comfortable stay for the fish. The fish is also laying on a thick foam base for cushioning.

The lightweight frame not only makes it easy to put up but also is sufficiently reduces the weight of all the luggage and gear that you carry to the bank. Where this is a lightweight cradle, there is the concern of it being swept away by a gust of wind when not in use. No fear. Advanta has included pegging points so you can fix the cradle in place to the terrain with no concerns.

The dimensions of the cradle are 110cm x 50cm x 30cm, plenty big enough for UK carp. The cradle also comes with a carry case for an easy commute from car to the bank makes the dimensions 52cm x 52cm x 10cm and a total weight of 1.8kg.

The XL cradle is perfect for trips to the continent, the extra room provides able shelter for those larger continental carp.
