Its 4-way tumbling pad design means athletes aren't just hitting a static bag - they're reacting to realistic movement on every rep, which translates directly to better tackling on game day. The compact 49\" size makes it one of the most flexible tacklers Fisher makes, fitting comfortably into youth programs, space-limited facilities, and multi-station drill setups. Built tough with rust-resistant hardware and dense foam that holds up to daily use, this is a piece of equipment you'll count on season after season. Fisher Athletic has been supplying serious football programs for decades, and the Hedgehog reflects that commitment to durability, function, and value.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Product Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e49\" tall from ground to tip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTotal Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePad Configuration\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 Way (four rocket-shaped pads)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFrame Finish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePowder coated (rust resistant)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAvailable Colors\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAction Green, Royal Blue, Grey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRecommended Use\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll age groups - youth through high school and beyond\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the difference between the 49\" and 60\" Hedgehog Tackler?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe 49\" model is a more compact version of the full-size 60\" Hedgehog. It offers the same 4-way tumbling pad design and ultra-dense foam construction but in a shorter, lighter package.
