Garbolino Legless Side Tray – Tented Collapsible Bowl Holder
Protect your bait from the elements while reclaiming your peg space with the Garbolino Legless Side Tray with Tented Collapsible Bowl Holder. This is the ultimate “all-weather” workstation for the serious match angler. By combining Garbolino’s ultra-stable Multigrip technology with a protective “pram-style” hood and integrated bait storage, this tray eliminates the need for cumbersome support legs while ensuring your pellets, groundbait, and hookbaits stay in perfect condition regardless of the weather.
The genius of this design lies in its Multigrip Open System. The dual-point attachment creates a cantilever effect so strong that even a fully loaded tray remains rock-solid and perfectly level. The integrated tented cover is a lifesaver on the bank—keep it up to prevent your micro-pellets from drying out in the midday sun, or pull it forward to stop a sudden downpour from turning your groundbait into a soup. When combined with the space-saving collapsible bowl holder, you have a professional-grade bait station that fits into a fraction of the transport space required by traditional trays.
Key Features & Performance
-
Dual-Point Multigrip Open Clamps: These heavy-duty hinged clamps snap onto your seatbox legs at any height. They provide a massive amount of “bite,” allowing the tray to remain “legless” and stable without a support leg.
-
Integrated All-Weather Hood: The folding tented cover features a rigid frame that stays in place even in high winds, providing essential shade or rain protection.
-
Collapsible Bowl Integration: Features a precision-cut aperture designed to house Garbolino’s square EVA collapsible bowls. This keeps your main feed secure and at a lower, more stable center of gravity.
-
Heavy-Duty Construction: Built from lightweight, powder-coated aluminium that resists corrosion and handles the weight of multiple bait tubs and heavy groundbait.
-
Leg-Fit Inserts: Supplied with a full set of inserts to ensure a perfect fit on D25, D30, and D36 round seatbox legs.

Examples of Where to Use
-
Tight Match Pegs: On commercial venues where platforms are narrow or side-by-side, a legless tray allows you to have a massive workspace without blocking the path or needing to find a footing for an external leg.
-
Irish Wading / Deep Margins: When you are sat in the water on a footplate, setting up a support leg is often impossible. This tray mounts directly to your box, keeping your bait high, dry, and stable.
-
High-Summer Festivals: Use the tented hood to create a “micro-climate” for your soaked pellets, preventing them from drying out and losing their attraction during five-hour sessions in direct sunlight.
-
Winter Leagues: Essential for keeping your groundbait and expansion pellets dry during those persistent winter drizzles, ensuring your bait consistency remains identical from the first whistle to the last.
💡 Gerry’s Pro Tip
When using the tented hood in particularly high winds, tilt the tray slightly toward your seatbox. By creating a very subtle inward angle, the wind will naturally push the hood down onto the frame rather than catching it like a sail. Also, if you’re using the XL 2-bowl version, keep your “heavy” groundbait in the bowl closest to the seatbox legs and your lighter items (like catapults or terminal tackle) on the outer edge. This keeps the center of gravity tight to the box and maximizes that “rock-solid” legless feel!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Does the tray come with the EVA bowls?
A: This usually depends on the specific deal we have running at Gerry’s Fishing. While the tray is designed to hold the Garbolino Square EVA Collapsible Bowls, they are often sold separately unless specified as a “Combo Deal.” Check the product options above for details.
Q: Can I really use this without a support leg if it’s full of bait?
A: Absolutely. The Multigrip system is incredibly robust. As long as you are using a quality seatbox with 25mm, 30mm, or 36mm legs and the clamps are tightened correctly, the tray will not budge.
Q: Is the tented cover removable for sunny days?
A: The cover is designed to be part of the frame for maximum stability in the wind. However, it folds completely flat behind the tray when not in use, giving you a totally open workspace when you don’t need the protection.
Q: Will it fit my square seatbox legs?
A: These are specifically engineered for round leg profiles. While they may grip some square legs with the right pressure, the most secure, “rock-solid” fit is guaranteed on round 25mm, 30mm, and 36mm legs.
