Full details
The Preston Innovations Ventalite Hoodie Combi Side Tray (Large) is an essential accessory for match and coarse anglers who need a balance of bait protection and rapid accessibility during long sessions. It is perfect for those who want a hybrid system that shields bait from rain and heat while keeping frequently used rigs and terminal tackle within reach. One potential caveat for new users is that the modular, heavy-duty design requires initial assembly and adjustment to ensure perfect alignment with your specific seat box configuration.

FAQs
Can I attach the Ventamesh section to either side?
Yes, the modular design allows you to fit the open section to either the left or right side of the main hooded unit.
Is this tray compatible with all seat boxes?
It is compatible with most standard seat box leg configurations, but you should verify your seat box leg size to ensure a snug fit.
How do I clean the Ventamesh surface?
Use a soft brush and fresh water to remove bait particles; the mesh is designed to allow water to pass through for easy cleaning.
Does this come with legs?
The tray includes outrigger knuckles for support; however, depending on your setup, you may need a separate telescopic leg to support the outrigger if one is not already integrated into your box system.
Is the hood removable?
The hood is designed as part of the primary bait protection system to keep contents shielded, though it is engineered to be as low-profile as possible.
Troubleshooting
The tray feels unstable or wobbly
Ensure both outrigger knuckles are adjusted and the support legs are firmly pressed against the ground to distribute the weight.
Bait is becoming damp or saturated
Check that the hood is correctly positioned and ensure no water is pooling in the mesh area; avoid leaving the tray in heavy rain for extended periods without the hood fully extended.
The modular side section feels loose
Check the connection points between the hood compartment and the mesh tray to ensure the locking bolts are tightened correctly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Modular design allows for a left or right-handed setup
- Excellent bait protection from the elements via the integrated hood
- Ventamesh base keeps bait fresh and allows water drainage
- High-stability mounting system with five total knuckles
- Space-saving design prevents restricted movement in tight swims
Cons
- Larger physical footprint requires a sturdy seat box system
- Requires proper tightening of all five knuckles for maximum stability
- May be considered overkill for very short, minimalist sessions
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the tray, first attach the clamping knuckles to your seat box legs, ensuring they are tightened securely to the desired height. Slide the tray mounting arms into the knuckles and lock them into place before attaching the modular side section. Always ensure the outrigger legs are adjusted to touch the ground to provide maximum structural support.
Compatibility: This tray is designed to fit most standard seat box leg profiles. We recommend verifying your seat box leg diameter to ensure the clamping knuckles offer a perfect fit.
Care instructions: After each session, wipe down the Ventamesh surface to remove bait residue. If you have been fishing in wet or muddy conditions, rinse the tray with fresh water and allow it to dry completely in an open space to prevent the hood material from developing mildew.
