Cradles are an accident waiting to happen. If the bait comes loose it heads for the face of the guy holding the cradle. Get a big Frabill
Agree 100% AND you can net fish solo AND you can take a "green" fish if not hooked well much easier with a net AND you have to play the fish longer with a cradle ....get a net

I agree with hourse hunter cradles are bad news,get a good net like a stow master you'll have it forever and it's big and you don't hardly know its in the boat plus
It's the best live well ever

I have a Stowmaster net and a Frabill net. The hoop on the Stowmaster is awesome and light. The Frabill netting (big kahuna) is very, very durable and tangle resistant. The best net you can buy is a Stowmaster/Frabill Power Stow and the Big Game net bag. This will make it easy to store and tangle resistant. Stay away from the cradle.
