Rive Open Foot Platform 2/4
Rive is the French match fishing brand which has already established itself as one of the finest seat box manufacturers on the continent. Previously difficult to get hold of on our side of the channel, it now looks set to make real waves in the UK. Celebrated for offering the most durable and hard wearing seat box system available, Rive seat boxes have the potential to really revolutionise your match angling. This is Rive’s Open Foot Platform 2/4, which has been designed to customise the Rive Sport Station as well as a whole host of Rive’s other bankware.
As the name suggests, the Rive Open Foot Platform operates on the brand’s famous open system and it comes fitted with two brackets, as well as two close stirrups. These allow you to modify your setup like never before and, should the rain start to pour in the middle of your match fishing setup, you can simply pop back to the car and attach this footplate to your seat box – ensuring that your feet are kept totally dry when the inevitable bankside puddles and bogs start forming. This footplate had diameter fixings of 36mm, ensuring it is compatible with almost any D36 product in the Rive range. Please note that this footplate is not supplied with legs and these are instead available for purchase separately.
This Rive Open Foot Platform 2/4 is compatible with a whole host of Rive’s top selling products in order to allow you to customise your setup to suit your needs. This includes the Headquarters Feeder (ref. 14 50 11) as well as the OPEN headquarters Feeder (ref 14 50 21) – both of which are variations on the perfect chair for the match angler who enjoys feeder fishing; the D36 Station Sport (ref. 02 14 01) – the ultimate lightweight and customisable seat box set up; and the Giroseat ST8 (ref. 94 99 10) – Rive’s swivel seat station. These are all impressive systems on their own but when paired with this footplate they really are taken to the next level.
The Rive Open Foot Platform 2/4 is manufactured from aluminium – as are the majority of bankware items in the Rive range. This is because the brand wants to hit that perfect mid-point between offering a durable system that can withstand a lifetime of use on the bank and offering a lightweight system which isn’t going to break your back every time you head down to your peg. Aluminium offers the very best of both worlds in this scenario and this footplate is heavy duty without being heavy in weight.
If you’re looking for the ultimate customisable seat box setup for all your coarse and match fishing then you really cannot go wrong with this Rive Open Foot Platform 2/4. It is the perfect accessory for the angler who likes to travel light but who also does not want to feel restricted on the bank. What’s more, it has been designed and manufactured by real experts in the field so you can be confident that you’re investing in a quality product which is not only built to last but it is also highly practical and will more than simply do the job on the bank.
