Rive XL Side Tray Awning

Rive XL Side Tray Awning

If you’ve ever been out on the bank during a match fishing session when the heavens have opened you’ll know exactly how much havoc a heavy shower can wreak. Not only can you find yourself soaked through within moments, leaving you soggy and shivering for the rest of your match, but you can also find your gear swimming in your side tray – which has transformed into a small floating pond. This is why having proper rain protection on the bank is absolutely essential, as it ensures that you can breeze through this kind of scenario without breaking your stride, whereas your competitors on the bank will be flapping and searching for makeshift cover to protect them and their gear. You can simply pull on a rain jacket in these kinds of conditions but for your side tray it’s not always so simple, especially if the rain is coming at you at any kind of angle – rendering an umbrella useless. It is in this sort of scenario that an awning really comes in play – which is exactly why Rive has purpose designed this awning for its XL Side Tray.

With dimensions of 490mm by 390mm, this awning has been designed to cover the Rive XL Side Tray – please note that the side tray does not come supplied with the awning and is instead able to be purchased separately. This precision fit ensures that you don’t have to worry about any rain water leaking into your side tray, potentially damaging the careful concentration of your delicately mixed baits. After all, there’s nothing worse than having mixed and balled your groundbait, ready to use as soon as you need, only for the rain to fall and begin to break down your bait prematurely – reducing its effectiveness in the water. This could have seriously detrimental effects on your angling success and in a close run situation it could be the difference between a match win and loss. Therefore, the Rive XL Side Tray Awning is the perfect accessory to have to hand on cold or blustery days.

However, you don’t need to reserve this awning only for days when the rain looks imminent. In fact, this is also the perfect tool for sunny days too. This is because the Rive XL Side Tray Awning is manufactured with a reflective outer material, which has been designed to bounce the sun’s rays back rather than absorb them into the awning. This means that the awning can act effectively as a parasol in sunny conditions, casting a cooling shadow over the contents of your side tray. The UV rays in the sunlight can be incredibly damaging to your bait and tackle alike and the bleaching effects of the sun will not only reduce the effectiveness of your bait but it can also weaken any rig bits you have out. What’s more, excessive heat from the sun can also affect the freshness of your bait. Bait at its freshest will always outperform old or tired bait, helping to ensure that you can remain on the top of your game for the duration of your session. This is why it is vital to ensure that you tackle is under shade for as long as possible, using a product such as this Rive XL Side Tray Awning.

This awning boasts a fold-flat design. This means that you can store this awning on your side tray, ready to be pulled up and unfolded when needed, so you never need to worry about not having the protection when you need it the most. Outfox the forecast as well as the fish with this Rive XL Side Tray Awning.
