SEATBOX GUIDE 2016 DAIWA

Top choice for matchmen RAISON AND RINGER HAVE DESIGN INPUT INTO THIS REASONABLY PRICED BOX DAIWA TOURNAMENT X 250 SEATBOX RRP: £475

THE Tournament X 250, Daiwa’s new box for 2016, has seen input from top match anglers William Raison and Steve Ringer. They bring the angling public a set-up that’s just as mouth-watering as the eagerly-awaited Tournament 500 was last year – but at a cheaper price.

It’s built around Daiwa’s rock solid ‘X’ bridge support system and aluminium frame, There’s no skimping on trays and drawers to carry all that you need. Every part of the detachable top and bottom modules features the clever OTC (one touch clip) system as standard to allow for ease of access and interchanging to suit your requirements.

In the top module you’ll find a single cross drawer with a shallow winder tray above, and 30 pole winders in two sizes are supplied with the box to get you up and running. This all sits below a comfortable pole seat with retaining strap and an adjustable padded carry strap.

Sliding on a rail beneath is the lower ‘cassette’ module that packs a deep central drawer unit measuring 22cm x 26cm x 4.5cm with side spaces for larger accessories. You’ll also find a trio of 20mm modular trays with an internal depth of 17mm, plus the base layer and lid.

There’s a super strong, non-slip sliding footplate that retracts underneath the box body. The six 25mm telescopic legs feature large mudfeet and compact handwheels with Daiwa’s no mark function.

You can also take your pick of colours, as the box is available in blue-and-black or red-and-black.

DAIWA 300 SEATBOX RRP: £465

WITH a height-adjustable h top compartment, the 300 can give leg compart clearance to suit, so no more knees clearanc around chins c or bad backs.

The footplate foo and six telescopic legs with telescopi mudfeet ensure that the box will handle h any terrain and give you a level platform.

In the top t compartments are two large side drawers and two shallow shall trays, with a removable cassette system in the removab base. Also Als supplied is a full trolley conversion kit to turn the box into a conversio barrow with w the minimum of effort.

Every tray features DaiwaÕs clever One Touch System.

The box comes with two trays of pole winders.

“Trays and drawers will carry all that you need.”

The X 250 also comes in a blue and black livery.

WWW.DAIWASPORTS.CO.UK DAIWA TOURNAMENT 500 SEATBOX RRP: £599

THE modular Tournament 500 majors on ease of use and practicality.

It won’t wobble or groan once you’re sat on it, thanks to a strong aluminium frame with ‘bridge’ support system that’s been rigorously tested on and off the bank.

A one-touch clip system (OTC) provides easy opening and closure of trays. Their thinner profile means that shallower 20mm layers can be added to the box to fine-tune the configuration and finished seating height of the box.

The six telescopic legs are much shorter than normal and not only do they not get in the way when fishing but also

give around 25mm of ground clearance.

A neat addition is an extra short leg, to give improved clearance when margin fishing at an angle across the box.

On the storage front, the 500 packs six 20mm modular trays with an internal depth of 17mm, one further tray in the lid of the base layer module, and one double cross drawer unit with a shallow tray on top. You also get a deep centre drawer unit plus 50 pole winders.

The footplate is of the integral retractable non-slip type that tucks away under the box when stored, all situated underneath a deluxe pole seat with padded removable carry strap.

You can even pick the colour of the box as it is available in black-and-red or black-and-blue livery.

D-TATCH SEATBOX ACCESSORIES THE D-Tatch system is designed for versatility and convenience, for use on square and round legs up to 25mm in diameter.

Simply locate the carrier attachment to where it suits you and then apply the accessory, securing it with a lever lock. Daiwa’s collection of seatbox accessories ensure a tidy and organised fishing station as well as faster setting up and tackling down.

DAIWA 160 SEATBOX

The comfy seat features a pole strap.

NEW

Soft hand wheels offer great grip.

Wide mud feet ensure stability.

PRICE £325 DAIWA 75 SEATBOX RRP: £240

THIS mid-range model offers Contintental-type features typical of top-level boxes.

In super-strong alloy and aluminium with a large round leg configuration, the 75 comes with a combined cassette system including two front drawers, one cross drawer and one shallow winder tray on top of a deep base compartment.

The comfy pole seat features a pole butt locator and padded carry strap. Beneath the main body of the box is a removable foot platform. The box sits on six external round telescopic legs with mudfeet.

REPLACING the 150 box of the Daiwa range, the new 160 is a more than capable alternative.

A more traditional-looking box with a hefty upper storage unit and a deep base, you can store the lot in this beauty, with reels, catapults and accessories going into the 14cm-deep base with ease.

That leaves the upper unit to take floats, hooks, pole rigs and other small items in the four drawers (two front and two shallow side) and the deep tray under the seat.

Solid plastic clips keep everything in place in transit, and stability comes via the robust frame and six telescopic legs with wide mudfeet.

Attached to these are large soft rubber handwheels that give you much better grip when tightening the legs, which also have a non-marking locking system on them.

You also get a sliding heavy duty footplate and a removable padded shoulder strap on top of the super-comfortable padded pole seat fitted with its own pole holder.

The box is available in two colour choices of black-and-red and black-and-blue.

DAIWA 40 SEATBOX RRP: £115

AT a penny under £100 the Daiwa 40 will suit the club angler who doesn’t needs masses of space but still demands top performance.

Made from strong but light aluminium, it features an integral internal adjustable leg system with detachable cassette top that holds one side drawer for tackle bits and bobs and a shallow winder tray for pole rigs.

The deep padded pole seat is extremely comfortable and features a removable padded carry strap.

herald in the New Year ARM HAS UNVEILED BOXES THAT FULLY DESERVE THE ‘SUPER’ MODEL NAME

There’s a deep drawer unit under the seat to go with a stacking module underneath the frame.

MATRIX SUPER 36 SEATBOX RRP: £699.99

IN A short space of time, Matrix, the match angling arm of Fox International, has built up an impressive portfolio of boxes, including last year’s hugely popular Silver edition of the Super Box. For 2016, two new models will spearhead the New Year, topped by the deluxe Super 36.

Built around a similar lightweight aluminium mainframe, with the same gunmetal finish and tough high-impact back panel as used in the original Matrix Superbox 1, the new 36 retains the

Even the sliding footplate is a little different from the norm - and utterly reliable to boot.

same proven Matrix clip system and interchangeable drawer units. These can be added both above and below the mainframe, thus allowing the height of the box, to be tailored to suit your individual needs.

The real innovation, though, comes in the form of the box’s six wide-diameter 36mm legs which have been constructed with 25mm telescopic inners. These give the 36 an impressive rock-solid stability on any type of terrain.

Sliding underneath the chassis is a no-nonsense chunky non-slip footplate, and all fittings are of the new snag-free variety. However, it’s what’s in the mainframe that will be of most interest.

Starting at the top, the 36 features a padded pole seat complete with retaining strap and a padded carry strap, plus a built-in spirit level.

Underneath this is the upper storage module consisting of a deep cross drawer, while below the frame is a 90mm deep unit for big tackle items.

The smart profile of the Superbox 36 is sure to get you noticed!

Half legs attach to the side of the box where you’re normally fix trays, feeder arms and the like, but because they’re short, they don’t get in the way when you need to turn to one side, giving all-important legroom.

Additional features include a sliding non-slip cassette footplate, state of the art hinge/clip locking system and round 30mm

legs with non-slip compression blocks, pivoting locking mudfeet and pole style gel seat. You get an accessory pack worth £150 free of charge, featuring a side tray, pole support rest/bar and umbrella and keepnet attachment plus pole winders.

BEAT THE MUD

PRICE

£699.99 MAVER S4 Z FRAME SEATBOX THIS looks different to anything else you’ll see on the bank. The Z frame and four leg configuration combine to produce a rock-solid and frighteningly strong box.

In four colours (Green, White, Mango Orange or Black) and without the middle set of legs of a conventional box, you’re left with room to swing legs around for fishing down the edge on commercials.

Unobtrusive half legs for attaching trays and arms are provided along with a sliding

non-clip cassette footplate, 30mm round legs, mudfeet and a pole-style gel seat.

Three set-ups are on offer – a twin front and single cross drawer, double cross drawer or twin front drawer and double winder tray, both having a winder tray under the seat. A sliding module beneath the main top unit has a single 50mm tray. There’s also an accessory pack worth £150 free of charge including a pole spray bar, side tray, umbrella and keepnet arm.

Each of the four telescopic and two standard legs are finished off with a large, fully-rotating mud feet to combat the worst pegs that UK fisheries can serve up!

Rather than carry reels and accessories in a separate bag, they’ll all fit into the base unit and extra trays and drawers can be added on top for more space.

MAVER UFO X6 SEAT BOX RRP: 349.99

AFTER the great success of last year’s four-legged S4 UFO box, Maver got their thinking caps on to produce more boxes in the range but at a price within range of most pleasure, club and open match anglers. The result has been the UFO X6.

Made from the same aircraft-grade aluminium as the S4, the new UFO is surprisingly light (it weighs just 13.5kg when empty) for a box carrying so much storage. The key difference you’ll notice immediately is that the X6 has six, rather than four, legs, making it rock-solid.

Available in Green or the very popular Mango

colour, the X6 is missing the bells and whistles of the S4, namely the side tray, bump bar, and umbrella and keepnet arms, but it’s still a highly impressive system that can be added to from the vast range of Maver accessories.

Boasting a free flow industrial-strength sliding cassette beneath the box and fully adjustable mudfeet, the seating position can be set precisely on all terrains thanks to the fully height-adjustable frame and the four round 30mm anodised telescopic legs and two round 30mm anodised accessory legs.

Maver’s state-of-the-art clip system gives access to the box from both front and back as helping to prevent accidental damage.

In terms of storage, there are two sliding f drawers with partitions, a winder tray for po and a built-in deep base unit to cater for me and other bigger bulky tackle items. To this then add extra S4 units for more trays or pe cross drawer, depending on your preferenc The pole seat is anti-memory in two colou a pole safety strap to help when fishing lon windy conditions.

It’s built around an aluminium frame with 30mm legs (two packing internal threads for accessories),

each with ergonomic handwheels.

Storage consists of that deeper frame-mounted base, a 26mmn shallow tray (supplied with 18cm winders), and a 40mm deep cross

A further 26mm shallow unit fits to the frame and there’s space under the padded pole seat to take hooklength boxes (not included).

To these you can add any number of cross drawers or trays from the range of separately sold items so a stack of winder trays can easily be assembled into a formidable battery to sit on that lower stack or on top of the frame.

SEATBOX GUIDE 2016 OCTBOX WWW.NORDIKTACKLE.NET

Original barrow boxes

OCTBOXES ARE PRACTICAL, COMFORTABLE AND INCREDIBLY VERSATILE TOO Legs feature extending inners to raise side trays and accessories to any height required.

Mud feet actually grip into the ground rather than sit on top of it.

OCTBOX D36 FOUR AND SIX DRAWER SEATBOX SYSTEMS RRP: £1,080 and £1,135

ENGLAND Feeder Team member Dean Barlow and river ace Hadrian Whittle are changing over to this incredible seatbox system – isn’t it time you did too?

The ability to convert the system from a fully loaded barrow to a set-up fishing station in minutes ,plus effective efficient storage at your fingertips, has made all Octboxes a winner. And there are now four and six drawer versions.

The D36 has a height adjustment frame housed on the main box legs, so you don’t have to play about with all four legs to get it just right. Additional built-in spirit levels help you get the perfect set-up.

The upper module underneath the moulded padded

foam pole seat includes a built-in hook board and has six or four drawers, which can be set up to open on the left or right. The four drawer battery is made up of three 2cm-deep drawers and a 4cm-deep drawer with three removable trays. The six drawer model has the same plus a choice of the following: single 2cm-deep drawer and single 4cm-deep drawer with three removable trays, or compact drawer modules with a 6cm-deep drawer with three removable trays, or one 9cm-deep drawer with two removable trays.

The platform, footplate and frame are constructed from very strong yet light alloy. All-metal welded leg clamps fix both the inner and outer legs with less lateral

movement than any other system and the clamps are so efficient that it’s possible to tighten them using just pressure from the tips of your fingers.

Mudfeet not only support the system but have the ability to dig in and grip on difficult surfaces, and inside each leg is a clever little extension option that allows you to raise the height of a fixing point for side trays or rig roosts just where you need them.

Because all Octboxes began life as a tackle barrow, the platform of the D36 can be converted in under a minute into a barrow system with a load area that can be extended to 2ft x 4ft with one, two or three wheel configurations including an electric-powered option.

Everyone likes a few extras with their seatbox, and the D36 comes with an inbuilt adaptor bar that extends out from the sliding footplate to give the angler a greater load area when used as a barrow. This bar when fully extended is rock solid and allows the supplied pole support to be pushed up to 18ins past of the front legs.

Supplied as standard with a D36 is a host of new Octbox developments including the XL Pole Support System keeps it stable in gusty conditions and smart side tray that has a cover to keep bait dry but with a swivelling bowl that can be pulled around in front of the angler, making it perfect for filling feeders or baiting up at speed.

OCTOPLUS STRONGBOX FOUR DRAWER SEAT BOX RRP: £205.99

ACCESSORIES company Octoplus has branched out into the seatbox market, with all its products designed and manufactured in the UK. The Strongbox range is the four drawer starter version.

All four models boast an innovative height and

levelling system, ergonomic seat design and deep under-box storage.

Front and side drawers have a unique latch bar system that allows them to be locked in place whilst in transit.

Storage is made up of two front self-locking

drawers, two side self-locking drawers, a pole winder tray and a large under-box storage compartment sat beneath a comfortable and robust ergonomically-designed seat. Legs are 18ins long aluminium with Super Mud Feet, all finished off with a strong shoulder strap.

OCTOPLUS STRONGBOX DS & DF SIX DRAWER SEAT BOXES RRP: £247

IF YOU need more space from your box and the standard four drawer Strongbox isn’t the answer, upgrade to one of these two models, which are the flagships of the range. Both have six drawers in two configurations of four front and two side or two front and four side, with the remaining spec being identical.

One hundred per cent made in the UK, the two boxes are supplied as standard with the legendary Octoplus height and levelling system that is so easy to use, plus four 18ins-long aluminium legs with swivel Super Mud Feet plus the innovative latch bar system, which locks the drawers securely in place during transit to stop contents spilling out in the back of the car!

As well as the six drawers, the DS and DF boxes have a winder tray for pole rigs plus a deep base unit for bigger items of tackle. A comfortable pole seat with a groove through the middle helps hold the pole still when fishing, and a strong shoulder strap completes the package.

OCTOPLUS SUPER STOOL RRP: £153.47

“A perfect seat for quick sessions or travelling light.”

CONSTRUCTED to the same high levels as the Strongbox range, the Super Stool is a perfect seat for quick sessions or when you wish to travel light on canals or commercial fisheries, incorporating the clever Octoplus adjustable seat height and levelling system.

Folding away in briefcase style (the four legs can be removed and clipped into place under the body), with its carry handle the Super Stool can be stored hung up on the shed or garage wall until needed and then picked up at a minute’s notice!

A pole winder tray and an under-seat compartment makes up the storage, all accessed via quick release catches. Sat above is a comfortable seat with a pole groove cut through the middle. As you’d expect, legs are the famous Octoplus versions with mudfeet attached to a levelling system.

OCTOPLUS 62 LITRE BAIT BOX & LID RRP: £23.99 OCTOPLUS MULTI-USE SEATBOX & CARRY STRAP RRP: £35.99 OCTOPLUS BANK SEATBOX, CARRY STRAP & EXTENDING LEGS RRP: £79.99

DURABLE, strong and strength-tested to 400 kilos, this is a true entry level old-school box.

The lid snaps into place when pressure is applied and once complete, the box can take even the heaviest of anglers with ease! There’s also a version with a carry strap added for transporting fully loaded boxes, and one with a strap and the famous Octoplus leg levelling system and four legs with mudfeet attached.

ACCESSORY POINTS All Sensas boxes have two separate independent fixing points to attach accessories to - far more convenient than clamping them onto the legs!

SENSAS JUMBO 3700 BOX RRP: £599

STABILITY is high on the list of wants, and the Sensas Jumbo delivers that in spades with a mega-strong frame and telegraph pole-like 36mm round legs.

SENSAS COMPETITION 670 SEATBOX RRP: £469.99

THE Competition 670 is described by Sensas as its most advanced model ever, with two years of development and refinement having been lavished on the box. The end result is a smart and stylish-looking bit of kit that’s tough as old boots and will handle being lugged about on the banks or in the back of cars with ease.

The box of choice for former World Champion Sean Ashby, the strength and stability of the 670 comes from the strong aluminium metal station-type frame and six round legs, four of which are telescopic and all finished off with mudfeet to deal with filthy swims. Each leg is fitted with Sensas power grip handwheels for extra stability.

Starting from the bottom, your cash gets you a sliding heavy-duty non-slip footplate and a sliding base unit on runners. This houses a double tray system (30mm and 60mm deep) plus lid

with a a block of front drawers.

Available in smart white or green, the Jumbo has a sliding footplate with integral keepnet arm plus spirit levels, seat cover and carry belt. Please note that the image below left is a prototype shot - final model is available in February 2016.

SENSAS FT 3000 COMPETITION SEATBOX RRP: £369.99

SENSAS has recognised the trend towards a Continental-style seat box with folding chair on top by launching the FT 3000.

Designed for feeder anglers, the seat allows you to ease back awaiting a bite.

Underneath is all the storage and functionality of a top flight box.

The chair folds down and rotates through 360 degrees, and is fitted with a very

comfortable cushion.

This sits on top of a storage tray that clips on to the mainframe, while underneath is a deep rig tray with lid and handle which slides on runners, and then a sliding heavy-duty non-slip footplate.

The 3000 is extremely stable due to the strong tubular frame and six legs, four of which are telescopic and two standard.

All is finished off with square mudfeet, and you also get a padded carry strap that can be detached when not needed.
