FAQ's about the Honey Hole Shrub
How much does the Honey Hole Shrub fish attractor weigh?
The Honey Hole Shrub weighs 15 pounds with the included weights. The fish
attractors are very easy to handle and place from a boat or toss in from the
bank.
Why two different types of fish structure?
The Honey Hole Shrub was designed to be placed in shallow water of 6 feet or
less. Its shape imitates a natural weed bed. The limbs are vertical and dense
providing escape cover for baitfish and plenty of vital spawning habitat that
will greatly increase overall forage production. The Honey Hole Tree was
designed to be utilized in water at least 6 feet deep or deeper. The tree-like
shape imitates natural fish cover and quickly attracts many species of game
fish.
What is the benefit of artificial fish habitats over “Christmas Trees”?
There are many advantages of our fish attractors in comparison to using cut
trees. First, the Honey Hole Shrub and Tree will not decay – put them out once
and you’re done. Also, enjoy snag-free fishing and save all of that money spent
on lost hooks and tackle. Another huge improvement is that our fish structures
are clean and simple; forget about the mess of dealing with brush and cumbersome
concrete blocks in the boat.
What kind of weight is used to keep the fish habitat from moving?
The Honey Hole Shrub includes one weight bolted underneath at the center. The
open bottom on dome grabs the sediment and keeps it from rolling or sliding. In
some cases when placing in locations with a heavy current, you can attach
additional weight like a cinder block with a cable or nylon strap through one of
the holes.
Do the fish attractors sink easily?
You won’t have any problems placing either fish structure. They both sink
quickly and will stay in an upright position regardless of how they enter the
water.
What is involved with the assembly of the fish attractors?
Simply push the limbs in the pre-drilled holes until they wedge. No toxic glue
or special fastening process is required. Assembly usually takes about 10
minutes per unit.
Does the artificial fish habitat really hold fish?
The abundant flexible limbs produce the perfect density of fish cover. The
massive surface area provides abundant substrate for plankton attachment. Our
slotted shapes give smaller fish a place to hide which draws in larger game
fish. Yes indeed, all of these unique features add up to a fish attractor that
is guaranteed to bring the fish to you.
How many fish habitats should I put in my pond?
The number of fish attractors needed will vary depending on the age of the pond,
current structures, management goals and the types of fish involved. If your
pond or lake is devoid of any underwater structure, then we recommend adding
approximately 9 trees and 12 shrubs per acre. This ratio will decrease as the
size of the lake increases. Since the fish structures are permanent, you can
always put out a few each year until you achieve your overall goal.
