What types of fishing trays exist and what are they for?
The variety of fishing trays allows everyone to find a piece suitable for their fishing style. The most common types are side trays, which can be attached to the side of a fishing chair or competition seat box, providing a stable surface for groundbait, baits, and small tools. Groundbait trays often also have a lid, thus protecting the bait from sun, rain, or drying wind, especially in warmer or windy weather. There are also auxiliary trays and tackle trays, which are smaller in size, ideal for storing things like disgorgers, baiting needles, or hooklengths. Their material is typically plastic, metal, or EVA, each having its own advantages in terms of durability and cleanability.
What should I pay attention to when buying a tray to ensure it fits my competition seat box?
When buying a tray, compatibility with your existing competition seat box or fishing chair is crucial. First and foremost, check the diameter of the legs (e.g., 25 mm, 30 mm, 36 mm), as the tray's fasteners are sized accordingly. Many trays are also available with universal adapters that fit multiple diameters. It is also important that the tray's size and design provide enough space for the equipment you use, but do not hinder movement. Consider what function you want to use it for (e.g., mixing groundbait, baiting, placing tackle boxes), and choose a model with appropriate depth and compartments. The expert fishing team at tacklebait.en will be happy to help you choose the right size and type to ensure the accessory is in perfect harmony with the equipment found in the Competition Seat Boxes category.
How do trays help in competitive fishing?
Trays play a decisive role in increasing efficiency and speed in competitive fishing. Thanks to their design, all tools, baits, and groundbaits are organized and accessible in moments, which can be critical in tight competition situations. Every second counts for competitive anglers, so trays minimize unnecessary movements and downtime between bites. Keeping groundbaits in covered trays helps maintain their consistency and protects them from drying out or getting soaked. With a well-chosen and positioned tray system, the angler can fully concentrate on bites and fighting fish, thereby increasing their chances of victory.
What material trays should I choose and why?
The material of fishing trays greatly influences their durability, weight, and cleanability. The most common materials are plastic, metal (aluminum), and EVA. Plastic trays are lightweight, cheaper, and easy to clean, ideal for general use. Metal (aluminum) trays are extremely durable and stable, often capable of bearing heavier loads, but they are heavier and more expensive. EVA material trays provide a soft, flexible surface that protects tools and dries easily. They are particularly popular for storing groundbaits and baits, as they are easy to clean and do not absorb odors. Choose based on your needs and frequency of use!
Trays in different fishing styles: are they needed for feeder, carp, or float fishing too?
Although trays are often associated with competitive fishing, their usefulness extends far beyond this area. In feeder fishing, for example, quick and accurate groundbait preparation and feeding are essential, for which a practical side tray is a great help. In carp fishing, they serve for organized storage of boilies, pellets, dips, and other baiting necessities, minimizing clutter around the bivvy or fishing spot. In float fishing, they are also useful for keeping small baits, like maggots or pinkies, as well as disgorgers and other small tools within reach. Even spinning anglers can benefit from smaller, portable trays for organized storage of wobblers or soft plastics in the boat or on the shore. Trays thus contribute to comfort and efficiency in all fishing styles.
