The Eagle Claw 11052-001 is a medium wire fish basket measuring 13 by 18 inches, made to hold your catch in the water until you head in. It has spring-loaded doors at the top and bottom and a wire handle for carrying, and it flattens for storage. It suits freshwater and saltwater anglers who keep a few fish on a day out.
