Preston Innovations Offbox Pole Support

The Preston Innovations Offbox Pole Support is a compact, ultra-stable front support system engineered to effortlessly hold long poles when fishing at extended lengths. Featuring twin extendable support arms, high-strength clamping knuckles, and a dual-textured rotating foam pad, it takes the weight off your arms and shoulders, making hands-free baiting, feeding, and resting at 13m+ smooth and comfortable.Its dual-profile foam roller can be rotated to offer either a flat surface for sweeping pole maneuvers or a convoluted/profiled surface to lock your pole securely in place on windy days.

Technical Specifications

Key Features & Performance

• Dual Telescopic Adjustment: Twin extendable support arms allow you to fine-tune the distance and height of the support pad relative to your seatbox, ensuring perfect balance for any pole length.
• Dual-Surface Rotating Foam Pad: Simple rotation allows you to choose between a smooth flat foam surface for easy lateral adjustments or a scalloped/convoluted profile to stop your pole blowing off the support in high cross-winds.
• High-Strength Clamping Knuckles: Heavy-duty leg clamps eliminate flex, wobble, and slippage under the heavy weight of 13m, 14.5m, or 16m poles.
• Compact Footprint: Delivers the stability of full-sized mega pole supports in a streamlined, lightweight profile that packs easily into carryalls or accessory bags.
• Hands-Free Bankside Efficiency: Frees up both hands for cupping in groundbait, firing loose pellets with a catapult, or re-baiting rig hooks without unshipping your pole.

Ideal Applications

• Long Pole Fishing (13m16m): Takes the heavy physical strain off your arms during long sessions at full length.
• Cupping & Feeding: Holds your pole rock-steady over your feed spot while you load groundbait cups or catapult pellets.
• Windy Weather Conditions: Rotate the foam pad to the convoluted side to lock the pole section in place and prevent wind-drift.

Pro Tip

Height & Angle Alignment: Set the pole support height so your pole rests completely horizontal or slightly angled upward over the water. Adjust the telescopic arms so the foam pad rests roughly two to three pole sections down from your seatbox. Placing the support too close to your seatbox cushion creates leverage imbalance, while setting it further out provides maximum stability and effortless hands-free control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this pole support fit 36mm seatbox legs?Yes. The clamping knuckles fit standard 36mm round legs natively and accept standard Preston Offbox inserts for 30mm round, 25mm round, and OnBox leg profiles.How do I switch between the flat and convoluted foam sides?The enlarged foam pad rotates freely on its central axis. Simply loosen the side tension wheel, rotate the foam bar 180 degrees to your preferred surface profile, and hand-tighten the wheel to lock it in place.Is it compact enough to fit inside a standard carryall?Yes. Unlike larger, rigid mega-harness pole supports, the telescopic arms collapse down flat, making it easy to store in carryalls, net bags, or under-seatbox trays.
