Garbolino Base Sliders For Tray System (Per Pair)

Garbolino Base Sliders For Tray System (Per Pair)

The secret to a perfectly organized peg lies in the fine-tuning, and the Garbolino Base Sliders for Tray Systems are the essential components that make that customization possible. These sliders are the “engine room” of your side tray setup, allowing you to move your tray closer to or further from your seatbox with effortless precision. Whether you are replacing a worn-out set or looking to add extra support to a massive “mega-tray,” these sliders ensure your bait and tackle are always exactly where your hand naturally falls.

Sold as a pair, these sliders are engineered to fit the specialized tracks found on Garbolino’s professional side trays. They offer a rock-solid connection that eliminates the annoying “tray bounce” often found with inferior, non-adjustable systems. By utilizing these sliders, you can compensate for different leg spacings on various seatboxes, making your favorite Garbolino tray truly universal across your gear collection.

Key Features & Performance

• Precision Sliding Action: Designed to glide smoothly along the tray’s underside tracks, allowing for millimetre-perfect positioning.

• Heavy-Duty Locking: Features ergonomic hand wheels that provide a high-torque grip, ensuring the tray doesn’t slide or tilt once you’ve found the sweet spot.

• Reinforced Construction: Built from high-impact polymer and corrosion-resistant alloys to withstand the weight of heavy groundbait buckets and multiple bait tubs.

• Modular Compatibility: These sliders are the standard replacement part for the Garbolino Competition and G-System tray ranges.

Detailed Specifications

Examples of Where to Use

• Upgrading Older Trays: Give an older, fixed-position tray a new lease of life by adding these sliders, allowing for modern levels of adjustability.

• Dual-Support Setups: If you use an exceptionally large tray for festivals or long sessions, adding an extra pair of sliders and an extra leg provides the ultimate “table-like” stability.

• Custom Bait Stations: Many pro anglers use these sliders as the base for DIY projects, mounting custom-made bait waiters or specialized tool racks directly to their seatbox legs.

• Compensating for Footplates: Use the sliders to push your tray further out to clear wide footplate setups or bulky leg-mounted accessories.

💡 Gerry’s Pro Tip

If you find your sliders are getting a bit “stiff” after a season of use, don’t use heavy grease or oil, as this will just attract groundbait dust and create a grinding paste. Instead, give the tracks and the sliders a quick spray with a dry PTFE or silicone lubricant. This creates a slick, “non-stick” surface that lets the tray glide easily but won’t hold onto dirt. It’s the difference between fighting your gear and having a setup that works for you!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Do these come with the leg inserts?

A: Typically, these sliders are designed to take the standard Garbolino Multigrip inserts. If you are replacing an existing pair, you can swap your inserts over. If it’s a new setup, ensure you have the correct 25mm or 30mm inserts for your specific seatbox legs.

Q: Will these fit other brands of side trays?

A: These are specifically designed for the Garbolino track system. While they may fit other trays with similar “C-channel” tracks, we recommend using them with genuine Garbolino products to ensure a safe and secure fit.

Q: Are they sold individually?

A: No, we sell these as a pair. This is because the stress on a side tray should be distributed evenly across two mounting points to prevent the tray from warping or the legs from twisting.

Q: How much weight can a pair of these hold?

A: When correctly locked onto 36mm legs, a pair of these sliders can easily support a fully loaded large side tray with multiple 3-pint bait tubs and a groundbait bowl. For extreme weights, we always recommend using a support leg at the outer corner of the tray.
