Garbolino Legless Side Tray – Collapsible Bowl Holder

Garbolino Legless Side Tray – Collapsible Bowl Holder

Streamline your bait station and eliminate the clutter of extra support legs with the Garbolino Legless Side Tray with Collapsible Bowl Holder. Designed for the modern match angler who values efficiency and a “clean” peg, this tray utilizes Garbolino’s revolutionary Multigrip technology to provide a rock-solid workspace that defies gravity. By removing the need for a dedicated support leg, this tray is perfect for narrow commercial platforms, steep natural banks, or Irish-style wading where a traditional leg would be impossible to set.

The standout feature of this specific model is the integrated Collapsible Bowl Holder. Instead of bait tubs sliding around on a flat surface, this tray features a custom-molded cutout designed to house the Garbolino square collapsible EVA bowls. This keeps your main feed—whether it’s micros, groundbait, or soaked pellets—perfectly secure and at the ideal height for rapid-fire feeding. When the session is over, the bowls collapse flat, and the tray’s support arms fold away, making this one of the most transportable bait stations on the market.

Key Features & Performance

• Multigrip Open System: The ultra-strong hinged clamps snap directly onto your seatbox legs. Such is the strength of the dual-arm brace (on XL models) that it remains perfectly level without a support leg, even when fully loaded.

   

• Integrated Bowl Utility: Designed specifically to hold Garbolino’s square EVA bowls (available in 1-bowl or 2-bowl tray configurations). This lowers the center of gravity of your bait, further increasing stability.

   

• Tented Protection (Optional): Many models feature a “pram-style” folding hood to shield your bait from drying out in the sun or becoming a soup during unexpected downpours.

   

• Universal Leg Fit: Supplied with inserts to fit the three most common leg diameters, ensuring it moves with you even if you upgrade your seatbox.

Detailed Specifications

Examples of Where to Use

• Narrow Commercial Platforms: When your seatbox takes up the entire width of the platform, there is no room for an external leg. This legless tray hangs securely over the water.

   

• Irish Wading: When you are sat 10 yards out in a lake, setting a support leg into a soft, uneven bottom is a nightmare. This tray keeps your bait rock-solid and level regardless of the lake bed.

• Steep River Banks: On venues where the bank drops away sharply, a support leg would need to be 4 feet long. The legless design bypasses this issue entirely.

• Speed Fishing: Use the bowl holder for your primary feed and the remaining flat surface for your hookbait tubs, catapults, and disgorger for a methodical, high-speed workflow.

💡 Gerry’s Pro Tip

To maximize the stability of a legless tray, always mount it as close to the seatbox frame as possible on your front and middle legs. If you find you need extra storage, the XL version of this tray actually has a threaded accessory point. You can screw in a Garbolino Multigrip Roost or a small accessory arm directly into the tray frame, giving you a place to rest your spare top kits or a towel without needing a whole separate leg setup!

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Does the tray come with the collapsible bowls?

A: This depends on the specific package. While some “Combo” versions include the bowls, the standard tray is often sold as the “Holder” only. We always recommend checking if the bowls are included or if you need to add them to your basket separately.

Q: Is it really stable without a leg?

A: Yes. The Multigrip system uses a brace design that creates a “triangulated” support. On the XL version with two leg clamps, the tray can easily support several kilos of bait without any noticeable “droop.”

Q: Will it fit my 30mm square legs?

A: The Multigrip system is optimized for round leg profiles. While it can sometimes grip square legs, we highly recommend it for round 25mm, 30mm, and 36mm systems for a guaranteed “rock-solid” fit.

Q: Can the tented cover be removed?

A: On most tented versions, the hood is permanently attached to the frame but can be folded completely flat against the back of the tray when you want an open workspace.
