  1. what about habitat? many options need to be discussed for a balanced eco. system. Habitat is far more than a spot to fish over. All kinds of new artificial fish habitat like fishiding for example, are being used across the country. Not all states have ample trees and wood to be continualy throwing in. Artificial fish habitat is the trend available for all aplications.Check out the products at www.fishiding.com
