Rive 12 Kit Roost
To be able to tackle each and every match fishing scenario with confidence you’ll need a range of top kits and options on the bank. These ensure that, no matter what you’re faced with, you’ll be able to make the most out of your time at the water’s edge. However, storing all your top kits in a convenient and practical way is notoriously difficult off-bank, let alone when you’re at the water’s edge. The sight of spare kits up leant up against seat boxes, or even simply resting on the floor, is worryingly common on the bank. All it takes is one wrong move or one clumsy foot step and you’ve lost one of your most vital pieces of kit – or pitched yourself head first into the water. Accidents happen all the time but by investing in the right gear, which has been designed with precision and purpose, you can significantly limit your chances of falling victim to one. Rive is a brand which really understands the needs of match angler and, as such, the team have designed this 12 Kit Roost. This allows you to store up to 12 top kits in an easy, convenient, and safe manner – ideal for both on-bank and off-bank storage.
The Rive 12 Kit Roost is available in two different sizes; a ‘front’ size and a ‘rear’ size. These allow you to pick the perfect size support for the kind of kits that you use. The front option boasts 18mm diameter holes, which is perfect for the storage of your very smallest and most delicate top kits. The rear option has holes of double the size (in other words 36mm diameter). This is the ideal size for your standard pole kit sections. Both sizes have a footprint of 500mm x 900mm. This extra wide stance ensures that your kit is extremely stable – even in high winds – protecting your top kits from any accidental damage. In fact, Rive has thought a lot about stability when designing this kit and it has finished each of the four legs with a ‘pike tip’. This is a sharp point which allows you to wedge the leg into the ground – perfect for when you’re faced with somewhat adverse conditions. This tip performs perfectly in soil and it is great for use in fine gravel, too.
As the name suggests, both of these Kit Roosts have been designed to house up to 12 top kits. Even the most fickle match angler would struggle to get through 12 different kits in one match day, so this is more than enough to allow you to take ample options down to your peg. Both of the Rive 12 Kit Roosts have been fitted with especially designed guards. These are in place to stop your kits from sliding, ensuring that your gear is always perfectly protected on the bankside.
Not only does this 12 Kit Roost provide you with a convenient storage place for your kits but they also help to ensure that you remain organised on the bank. Organisation really is imperative to your match fishing success and without the right gear you’ll be left in an unorganised mess. The Rive Kit Roost helps to prevent this and it ensures that you’re always in the best possible position on the bank. After all, nothing is worse than wanting to quickly change up your setup only to waste time fumbling around for your gear. Keeping your hook in the water for as long as possible maximises your chance of a take, so a Kit Roost that allows you to make speedy section transfers is going to help you along your way to match fishing victory.
