Preston Innovations Supera X Ventamesh Round Bowl – 5 Litre

Preston Innovations Supera X Ventamesh Round Bowl – 5 Litre: The Ultimate Live Bait Sanctuary

Give your bait the breathing room it deserves. At Gerry’s Fishing, we know that the difference between a record-breaking bag and a tough day often comes down to the quality of your bait. The Preston Supera X Ventamesh Round Bowl is a professional-grade storage solution designed specifically to keep live baits like maggots, pinkies, and worms in peak condition.

Built from a rugged, easy-clean EVA shell, this bowl is as practical as it is durable. The standout feature is the breathable Venta-mesh lid, which allows for maximum airflow. This prevents your bait from sweating or overheating during transit and storage—essential for keeping maggots from turning into casters prematurely or keeping worms lively and active.

Key Features at a Glance

• Breathable Venta-mesh Lid: Provides essential ventilation to keep live baits fresh and active, even on warm days.

   

• Robust EVA Construction: The 100% waterproof shell (excluding the lid) is tough, durable, and can be wiped clean in seconds.

   

• Strong, Robust Zip: Designed to withstand the rigors of frequent use and resists clogging from grit or bait.

   

• 5L Capacity: A generous size that comfortably holds enough bait for a full day’s session or for bulk storage.

• Easy Maintenance: The smooth internal surface ensures no bait gets trapped in corners, making it incredibly easy to wash out after a session.

Pro Tip from Gerry’s Fishing

The “Fresh-Bait” Routine: While the mesh lid is fantastic for airflow, on exceptionally hot days, we recommend keeping the bowl in the shade or inside a cool bag. The EVA shell provides decent insulation, but the Venta-mesh allows heat to escape—combining this with a cool environment ensures your maggots stay “dormant” and fresh for much longer, giving you a massive edge over anglers using sealed tubs.

Examples of Where to Use

• Match Fishing: Perfect for holding your primary maggot supply on your side tray while ensuring they don’t sweat in the sun.

• Specimen Worm Fishing: Ideal for keeping a large quantity of lobworms or dendrobaenas fresh and moist during a long session.

• Transit and Travel: Use it to transport your bait to the lake securely without the risk of lids popping off and bait escaping in your car.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is the bowl itself waterproof?

The EVA base and sides are 100% waterproof. However, because the lid is made of Venta-mesh, it is designed to let air (and moisture) in and out. If it rains heavily, water will get into the bowl through the lid.

Can I use this for groundbait?

You certainly can, though its primary design is for live bait. If you like your groundbait to “breathe” or dry out slightly as you fish, the mesh lid is quite handy. For keeping groundbait perfectly moist, you might prefer a standard solid-lid Supera X bowl.

How do I get rid of the “maggot smell” after a trip?

Because it’s made of EVA, it doesn’t absorb odors like traditional plastics. A quick rinse with some mild, fish-safe detergent and warm water will have it smelling like new in no time.

Will maggots climb out through the mesh?

The Venta-mesh is specifically sized to prevent standard maggots and pinkies from escaping while still providing maximum airflow
