Full details
The Preston Innovations Ventalite Small Side Tray in Blue is ideal for anglers who need a compact bait management solution without sacrificing functionality. Its primary benefit is the efficient use of space while keeping bait accessible and optimally aired, though its 'small' designation means it may not suit those carrying a large volume of bait or multiple large tubs. Key features include a Ventamesh base for drainage and air circulation, a secure clamping system, and a self-supporting design for stability.

Troubleshooting
Tray is wobbly or unstable
Ensure the clamping knuckle is fully tightened onto the seatbox leg. Check that the leg is clean and free from obstructions. Verify the leg diameter is compatible with the clamp.
Water not draining effectively
Inspect the Ventamesh base for any blockages from bait or debris. Gently clear any obstructions to allow for proper water flow.
Clamp is difficult to tighten
Check the clamp and the seatbox leg for any dirt, sand, or foreign objects. Clean both parts thoroughly. Ensure the clamp mechanism is aligned correctly with the leg.
