The standard 1" by 1" keeps small to large pinfish, spots, bait crabs, squirrel fish (sand perch), mutton minnows, silverfish, larger threadfin herring (sabiki size), medium size finger mullet, large mullet, snapper, trout, redfish, grouper etc. Fresh water fish would include all species like bluegill, bass, perch, crappie, catfish, trout, salmon, etc. There are no maximum size limits on how large or how many fish that you can keep in these Bait/Fish Holding Pen Cages, as long as they're not longer than the bait/fish cage. These bait/fish holding cages are very durable unlike the floating net made bait containers which tear when rubbing against pilings on dock-sides, wear out from normal use, and simply do not hold up to small sharks, otters, alligators or even pelicans trying to get a quick meal. If you haven't experienced any of these problems with the net made bait containers, it isn't a matter of "if" but simply a matter of "when" that you come in contact with some of the mentioned problems with these type of bait containers. It only takes one of these hungry little animals to ruin your fishing day or week when using the net model bait container.

Using Catch N Bait's Fish & Crab Holding Boxes you'll be able to sleep with comfort knowing that your fish or bait is caged up in the highest quality Bait, Fish & Crab Holding Cage made. No aeration needed and no pumps to burn out!
