Garbolino Support Kit Leader 4 Leg

Description

The Garbolino Support Kit Leader 4 Leg is a four-legged ground roost designed to keep carbon kits and rods off the deck and organised. Where seatbox-mounted supports offer immediate access, a dedicated four-legged ground roost gives greater stability and capacity. The Leader system suits the angler who carries a comprehensive array of top kits and rods and needs a station that will not tip over when the wind picks up or the ground is uneven. The frame is built from lightweight but robust alloy and carries four independent telescopic legs, so you can achieve a level setup on steep canal banks, rocky river edges or uneven wooden platforms. The high-density EVA foam head is notched to grip your sections securely, keeping gear in place even on exposed, windswept venues. - Model: Support Kit Leader (4 Leg Version) - Capacity: 8 to 12 Positions (Model dependent) - Leg Type: 4 x Independent Telescopic Legs - Height Range: Approx. 37cm (Minimum) to 50cm+ (Maximum) - Material: Lightweight Alloy Frame / High-Density EVA Foam - Folding Mechanism: Rapid-fold legs for easy transport - Target Gear: Top Kits, Spare Pole Sections, and Match/Feeder Rods - Colorway: Signature Garbolino Blue and Black Independent 4-leg stability: unlike tripod systems, the four-leg footprint provides superior balance, especially when loaded with heavy feeder rods or long pole sections. Telescopic adjustment: the legs can be extended to raise your kits above tall grass or bankside debris, keeping your elastics and joints clean. High-density EVA protection: the soft, blue EVA foam notches are deep enough to prevent blow-out in high winds while being gentle enough to prevent scratches on your carbon. Compact folding design: despite its size when unfolded, the Leader support folds down into a slim, flat profile that slides easily into your holdall or carryall side pocket. Where to use it: - Mainland river festivals: essential on rivers like the Wye or the Severn where you need to set up on steep, muddy banks. The adjustable legs ensure your kits are level even when the ground is not. - Large commercial venues: ideal for those days when you need 10+ kits rigged up to cover every line and depth on the lake. - Feeder and float matches: when you have 3 or 4 rods made up, the Leader support keeps them off the floor and protects the delicate tips from being stepped on. - Exposed embankments: on windy reservoirs or snake lakes with no tree cover, the 4-leg design provides the low centre of gravity needed to stop your gear from being blown into the water. To prevent kits from sliding or being blown out during extreme gales, position the support so that the kits are angled slightly nose-down toward the water, which reduces the wind's surface area against the carbon. On very soft or muddy banks, press the pointed feet of the support firmly into the ground before loading it with kits to ensure it does not settle and tilt during the match. Is it wide enough to hold 13m or 14.5m pole sections? Yes. The spacing of the notches is designed to accommodate the wider butt sections of modern poles as well as slim top kits, keeping them separated so they do not knock against each other. Do the legs lock into position? Yes, the telescopic legs feature reliable twist-lock or snap-lock mechanisms (depending on the specific production run) that stay secure even when the roost is fully loaded. How do I stop it from blowing over in extreme winds? The 4-leg design is inherently stable, but in hurricane conditions many pro anglers hang a small weight, such as a spare groundbait bucket, from the centre of the frame to lower the centre of gravity further. Can I use this for my spare rods as well as pole kits? Yes. The EVA notches are deep enough to cradle the middle sections or handles of match and feeder rods, keeping your reels out of the mud and your line clear of the ground.
