Preston Innovations Ignition Roost

Preston Innovations Ignition Roost

Keep your expensive top kits organized, protected, and ready for immediate action with the Preston Innovations Ignition Roost. When you are managing multiple rigs on the bank, laying them down on the grass or propping them against bushes is a recipe for broken carbon. This compact, high-stability roost provides a dedicated, safe haven for up to eight top kits or multiple rods, ensuring your tackle stays immaculate throughout the session.

Built around a streamlined 54cm wide frame, the Ignition Roost features four independently adjustable, telescopic legs. This allows you to achieve a perfectly level, rock-steady setup on tricky canal towpaths, steep river banks, or sloped commercial wooden platforms.

The heart of the system is the premium, high-density EVA roost head. It is precision-cut with eight deep, angled grooves that cradle your carbon securely. These specialized slots prevent your kits from clashing together and stop the wind from lifting them out of the roost, keeping everything pinned down safely even during severe crosswinds. When it is time to pack away, the legs fold completely flat against the main chassis, slipping effortlessly into your carryall or holdall.

Pro Tip from the Gerry’s Fishing Team

Pro Tip: To get the absolute most out of this system on windy days, position the Ignition Roost as your rear support for your kits, and use a standard ripple bar or multi-roost on your seatbox at the front.

When placing your top kits into the roost, always face the top kit kits into the wind. The deep, angled EVA grooves on this model will catch the blank securely, preventing the wind from getting underneath the kits and lifting them up, which completely eliminates the risk of an expensive multi-kit smash.

Ideal Applications

• Commercial Match Angling: Perfect for organizing various depth kits, margin kits, and shallow setups right behind your seatbox for instant changes.

• Multi-Rod Feeder & Float Tactics: Ideal for keeping spare rods safely off the ground and neatly aligned when alternating between lines.

• Tight, Restricted Pegs: Excellent for canal towpaths, narrow river platforms, or small natural pegs where space is heavily limited.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Will this roost hold heavy, fully rigged specimen rods?

Yes. While it is incredibly popular for pole top kits, the high-density EVA foam and stable four-leg configuration mean it can easily support the weight of multiple rigged feeder, carp, or float rods without tipping over.

How low to the ground can this roost sit?

Because the four telescopic legs fold out flat against the frame, you can set this roost up extremely low to the floor. This is a massive advantage on high, exposed banks where keeping your spare kits low to the grass keeps them completely out of the worst of the wind.

Is the EVA foam safe for delicate carbon pole walls?

Absolutely. Preston uses a premium, soft-touch EVA foam that acts as an impact buffer. It won’t scratch the protective finish of your pole kits, nor will it compress or damage thin-walled carbon sections when you place them into the slots under pressure.
