Honey Hole Tower

Because so many Texas fisheries and reservoirs are man-made, Pond King designed the Honey Hole Tower specifically for habitat improvement efforts in these bodies of water. Standing 10-feet tall and with a circumference of 7-feet when it is fully submerged and expanded, the Honey Hole Tower provides an enormous amount of coverage in all water zones. The Honey Hole Tower is an effective vertical habitat for fish congregations and works especially well when deployed along drop-offs, deep bays, and creek channels.

More Details

Each Honey Hole Tower Unit Includes:

  • (1)  Galvanized Steel Base

  • (12) Limbs

  • (12) 10" Stems

  • (24) Shroud Retainers

The Honey Hole Tower 1pk ships in a single box (12x12x47) by Fed Ex Ground. The other quantities are sold as pallet quantities (16pk = 1 pallet, 32pk = 2 pallets). Pallet quantities ship by motor freight. Freight is calculated at checkout based on a residential address, with a lift gate and notification prior to delivery.

All of Pond King’s artificial fish habitat carries a 10 year limited warranty on any manufacturer defects. While we stand behind our products, we aren't obligated to replace parts that are misused (eaten by otters, beavers, snapping turtles, stolen or tampered with) or damaged due to normal wear and tear. But we love a good story so if any of the above applies to you, shoot us an email (with pictures, please) to let us know what happened.

Some assembly is required for the Honey Hole Tower.

In a nutshell, you'll need to:

  • Assemble the limbs using the retainer clips
  • Assemble the base
  • Attach the limbs to the base
  • Toss into the water and watch it sink

FAQ

Fish need cover. They either go to it to feed, or they go to it to avoid being eaten. Submerged vegetation is valuable as habitat for predatory species like Bass or Crappie and for forage species like Bluegill. Pond King’s fisheries biologists designed the Honey Hole product line to augment or replace naturally occurring aquatic vegetation to attract game fish (the fish that use cover as ambush to help them feed) and protect forage fish (the species that use habitat to hide from predation).
Our artificial fish habitat is designed for pond and lake owners to help with fish population management without a lot of vegetation control. Natural vegetation can be difficult to control for two primary reasons; Vegetation can take over the environment, Structure can, and almost always does, decay. For those reasons, it’s not always easy to manage naturally occurring habitat. Our fish habitat is intended to provide an effective and affordable alternative to natural cover types for a variety of purposes and objectives. All of Pond King’s artificial fish habitat is safe for the environment, reduces the likelihood of snagged lures, is easy to assemble and deploy, doesn’t decay, and you can find it using your fish finder, so locating your honey hole season after season is a snap.
The Honey Hole Grass, Reed and Dock Dropper ship fully assembled. The other Honey Hole products require some minimal assembly, which can easily be done in your shop or at your pond, but never with any toxic glues!
Absolutely not! The Honey Hole, and the Honey Hole Reed, Brush, Shrub, Tree and Grass can just be tossed into the water from your boat or the shore. You just drop the Dock Dropper from your dock (as the name implies), secure it to your deck and you are good to go.
Pond King’s Honey Hole artificial fish habitat is made of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and is designed to be assembled without any toxic glues or adhesives, so yes it is safe for the environment. In fact, given that it doesn’t degrade overtime and minimizes the number of lures snagged that land on the bottom of the lake or pond, some might even say our artificial fish habitat is good for the environment!
Our artificial fish habitat has a higher-than average limb count which results in a lot more surface area for the accumulation of periphyton. Plus, the materials we use to make our habitat are biologically inert, so they aren’t just safe for your pond today, they are safe for the life of the product.
Honey Hole Products Other Artificial Fish Habitat
  • HDPE with added UV inhibitor is highly resistant to degradation from exposure to sunlight, temperature extremes, and acidic or alkaline conditions.
  • Environmental degradation causes PVC to become brittle, and long term structural integrity of PVC habitat in shallow aquatic environments is problematic. 
  • HDPE and LDPE used are biologically inert materials and are the same type of plastic approved by the FDA for use in the food storage industry.
  • PVC is a mixture of vinyl chloride and phthalate based plasticizers, and other additives; many of which are suspected carcinogens and endocrine disruptors.
  • Only clean, environmentally nontoxic, durable material is used to construct Honey Hole Artificial Habitat. LDPE is sourced from virgin material free from contaminants. 
  • The manufacture, use and disposal of PVC is not "green." The release of dioxin - a persistent and highly toxic chemical - occurs during synthesis and incineration.  
  • HDPE is sourced from recycling factory re-grind material verified for environmental safety and quality, to reduce unnecessary waste and promote sustainability. 
  • PVC can contain biocides that are designed to deter microbial growth which may negatively affect bacterial diversity in biofilm that accumulates on submerged artificial habitat constructed from re-purposed PVC products.

The Tower base is galvanized steel strap, and serves as a weight for standard uses. If you're putting the habitat in an area with steep slopes or heavy wave action/current, you may need to add additional weight to keep it from moving. 

Easy transport, simple installation

Because the Honey Hole Tower is often installed in relatively large quantities, we designed it to be quick and easy to put together lake-side, in an assembly-line style production. Once assembled, just load them onto a boat and drop them into water that is 12 to 15-feet deep. The included weight brackets allow them to easily sink to the bottom. The Honey Hole Tower sinks upright every time, ensuring perfect placement without any hassle. Just toss it in, and let it do the rest! Enjoy effortless habitat setup, allowing fish to thrive in their new home.

Good for your fishery

The limbs of the Honey Hole Tower are flexible and easy to fish through, reducing the number of lures that get tangled and end up at the bottom of the lake, decaying or creating unintended hazards to wildlife. Like all Pond King artificial fish habitat, the Honey Hole Tower is manufactured using low (LDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with UV inhibitors. Polyethylene is a biologically inert material and is the same type of plastic approved by the FDA for use in the food storage industry, so you don’t have to worry about any unwanted toxins. 

No dead zones no matter the time of year.

The Honey Hole Tower replicates the structural complexity and dynamic movement of natural cover so fish immediately take to it. And, because it is our tallest of the Honey Hole lineup, it provides habitat throughout the water column. Even if your pond stratifies in the heat of summer, the Honey Hole Tower will cover the deepest part of your pond, so you won’t have any dead zones that are void of habitat. And, because it won’t rot or decay, you’ll be able to find this structure using a depth finder, making it easy to find your honey hole season after season.
