Product Details and Uses

Preston Innovations Absolute 5G 360 Seat Unit | Dynamic Margin Fishing

The Preston Innovations Absolute 5G 360 Seat Unit is a high-performance seating upgrade designed for the modern match and feeder angler. Building on the immense popularity of the Inception 360, this unit is fully integrated with the Mag-Lok system, allowing it to be swapped onto any Absolute 5G or Absolute Station frame in seconds. The 360-degree swiveling action provides a massive ergonomic advantage, allowing you to rotate your body effortlessly to fish down the margins without twisting your back or repositioning your entire seatbox.

At Gerry’s Fishing, we highly recommend this unit for “short-line” and margin specialists. Whether you are tracking a float along a reed line or rotating to face your side tray during a frantic feeder session, the smooth rotation ensures you are always in the most efficient and comfortable fishing position.

Key Features & Benefits

360-Degree Fluid Rotation: The primary benefit of this unit is the ability to turn in any direction while seated. This is a “game-changer” for margin fishing, as it allows you to face the water at an angle, making it much easier to strike at fish and play them away from bankside snags.
Ergonomic Back Support: Unlike standard flat seats, the 360 unit features a supportive backrest. This significantly reduces lumbar fatigue during long sessions, making it an ideal choice for feeder anglers who spend a lot of time sitting and waiting for a bite.
Mag-Lok Integration: The unit features the patented Mag-Lok magnetic clips. This means you can unclip your standard padded seat and click the 360 unit into place instantly, or stack it on top of existing drawers and trays to customize your height.
Fold-Down Design: For ease of transport, the backrest folds completely flat and is secured by a robust strap. This ensures the unit remains compact when loaded onto a Preston Shuttle or tucked into the back of a van.
Hard-Wearing Padded Seat: The seat is constructed from a durable, weather-resistant material that provides excellent comfort even in wet conditions. The padding is firm enough to provide support but soft enough for all-day use.

Where to Use: Recommended Scenarios

Margin Fishing on Commercials: Rotate to face left or right to fish the “short pole” lines in the margins without straining your neck or torso.
Feeder & Method Fishing: Ideal for anglers who need to turn toward their side trays frequently to prepare bait or change rigs, keeping everything within an easy “pivot” range.
River Fishing: Allows you to rotate your body to track the float as it travels downstream, maintaining a direct line of sight and better control over the strike.
Anglers with Back Mobility Issues: The swiveling action takes the pressure off the lower spine during the “twist and strike” motion, making it a much more comfortable experience for those with limited mobility.

The Gerry’s Fishing Verdict

The Absolute 5G 360 Seat Unit is more than just a comfortable chair; it is a tactical tool. It transforms your seatbox from a static platform into a dynamic fishing station. If you find yourself constantly shifting your box to face different areas of your peg, this unit will save you time and physical effort. It is the ultimate upgrade for comfort-conscious match anglers.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: When using the 360 seat, pay close attention to your footplate position. We recommend setting your footplate slightly wider than usual to provide a stable base for your feet as you rotate. This ensures that even when you are facing 90 degrees to the box, your balance remains perfect during a powerful cast or a heavy strike
