Preston Innovations Absolute 5G 360

Preston Innovations Absolute 5G 360 | Compact Versatility & Comfort

The Preston Innovations Absolute 5G 360 is a specialized seatbox that redefines the concept of a “compact” station. Built around a proven, lightweight H-frame design, this model is tailored for the mobile angler who needs a smaller footprint without sacrificing the high-end stability of the 5G range. The standout feature is the integrated 360° swivelling seat, which provides the freedom to rotate toward margins or side trays effortlessly—an essential for modern commercial and feeder fishing.

At Gerry’s Fishing, we highly recommend the 5G 360 for anglers who fish tighter pegs or those who suffer from back fatigue. The H-frame not only reduces overall bulk but also incorporates a deep, high-capacity storage drawer directly into the chassis, ensuring your most important gear is always at your fingertips.

Technical Specifications

Key Features & Innovation

• Dynamic 360° Swivel Seat: Offers unrestricted movement and cushioned, all-day support. This allows you to stay perfectly aligned with your line of fishing, whether you are tracking a float downstream or rotating 90 degrees to fish a margin line.

• Integrated Deep H-Frame Drawer: Unlike traditional boxes where the frame is hollow, this model utilizes that space for a deep, easy-access main storage drawer. This is perfect for larger items like catapults, bulk spools of line, and accessory cases.

• Revolutionary Full-Access Drawers: The 5G system ensures that every drawer pulls out completely. You no longer have to reach into “blind spots” at the back of the drawer; every piece of terminal tackle is fully visible and accessible.

• Mag-Lok Modular Compatibility: The unit uses Preston’s patented magnetic clips, which are faster and more reliable than plastic catches. You can easily add more 5G trays or drawers to the stack as your gear grows.

• Single-Sided Footplate Locking: The sliding footplate is secured by a single plunger on one side. This makes expanding your station on the bank much faster and easier than traditional two-handed locking systems.

• 36mm Telescopic Legs: Despite the compact frame, the box utilizes full 36mm legs to ensure maximum stability on any terrain, from flat concrete platforms to steep, muddy banks.

Package Contents

The Absolute 5G 360 comes equipped with a versatile storage configuration:

1. Deluxe 360 Seat: Featuring a built-in Double Drawer Unit (accessible from both sides).

2. Integrated Deep Storage Drawer: Built directly into the H-frame for maximum storage efficiency.

The Gerry’s Fishing Verdict

The Absolute 5G 360 is the perfect middle ground for the angler who wants the features of a “flagship” station but in a more maneuverable, compact package. It is exceptionally comfortable, rock-solid on its 36mm legs, and the H-frame drawer is a brilliant use of space. It’s an ideal choice for both the match specialist and the dedicated pleasure angler who values their back health and ergonomic efficiency.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: Because the H-frame drawer is so deep, it is the perfect place to store your Preston Hardcase Accessory Tins. By keeping your heavy leads and feeders in the bottom H-frame drawer, you keep the center of gravity low, which makes the box even more stable when you are rotating on the 360 seat
