Products Description

Mossback  Root Wad

DESCRIPTION

The MossBack Root Wad is an innovative and long-lasting habitat solution for ponds and lakes, designed to replicate natural weed lines and enhance shallow water ecosystems. Perfect for shorelines, it provides a sanctuary for baitfish like minnows, shad, and sunfish while creating ambush spots for predator species.

Constructed from American-made recycled PVC, the Root Wad is a permanent fixture that resists decomposition and adds no biomass to your waterbody. With its textured, V-shaped limbs, it promotes sediment and plant growth, transforming into a living piece of habitat. Its simple assembly process and easy deployment make it an essential addition for pond and lake management.

Secure your Root Wad with the optional MossBack Fish Habitat Block Adapter (sold separately), designed to hold a concrete block in place for vertical stability. Spend more time fishing and less time replacing deteriorated natural habitats with the MossBack Root Wad!

Key Features
