The Bunker connects shallow nursery habitat with deeper holding water. Its reclaimed PVC limbs combine fine refuge near the center with wider passages and shade for fish beginning to leave spawning and shoreline areas.
Bunker specifications
More than 52 inches tall
Recommended freshwater depth: 4–8 feet
Opens more than 65 inches wide
More than 65 square feet of surface area
Approximately 20–22 pounds
Mixed flexible limb widths
Stable, self-weighted transition habitat
Cement is built into the patented base design, so no separate anchor or ballast is needed. Bend the limbs by hand, then place the Bunker between dense shallow cover and taller deep-water structures. Groups of three can form a connected complex roughly 12 by 12 feet when neighboring branches touch.
Years of Fishiding underwater filming document crappie and other freshwater species using this varied vertical cover for shelter, feeding and movement.
Price includes free shipping. Required sales tax is charged only to Illinois residents.
Give the first break a different cover profile.
Choose Bunker when a route from shallow nursery cover needs a taller station with fine interior refuge and wider outer passages. Its mixed flexible limb widths let you shape both protected space and a fishable edge. The recommended freshwater range is 4–8 feet; check clearance using the finished shape and expected low-water level.
Compare Bunker with Safehouse by footprint, limb widths and handling weight. Bunker opens more than 65 inches wide and weighs approximately 20–22 pounds. Safehouse opens more than 7 feet wide, weighs about 16 pounds and is recommended for 5–8 feet. Choose the profile that fits the available space and the role missing from your layout.
Bend the limbs before deployment and leave movement lanes around the group. Cement is built into the base, so no separate anchor or ballast is needed. Record the position and depth, and keep the group clear of swimming, navigation and maintenance areas. Deeper placement is useful only where oxygen and seasonal conditions remain suitable for fish.
