I am a great fan of stern cages. I think they offer safety, look good, finish off the stern and balance a boat—to my eye—but it’s also by far my most preferred working area for fishing. On the Image, these cages look great. The strong three rung aluminium ladder, which seems to meld with the cage lines, hinges up and drops into a holding slot, but drops way down, well below the surface, again adding to the ease of entry for divers and swimmers.
