Superbox full of tricks

The latest Matrix seatbox takes bankside accommodation into the five-star bracket with a host of new and improved features that launch it into the luxury category

MATRIX S36 SUPERBOX RRP: £529.99

THIS smart, eye-catching flagship seatbox, brand new from Matrix, is the lime green version of its Superbox S36. A grey aluminium frame option is also available for those wanting a slightly more subtle look and both carry several successful features over from their predecessor, the Super 36 Box. These include thick 36mm round legs to give the box excellent stability and these are fitted with 25mm telescopic insert legs. This means you can adjust the height of the box without compromising on the length of the main 36mm legs, for attachments to be placed at a sensible, reachable height. You can also raise the box legs sufficiently to put it in the shallow margins of a lake or river. The S36 is supplied with a pole seat, housing a spirit level in a central position. A deep cross-drawer beneath this is perfect for rig components, feeders or rig storage, with removable dividers also provided. There’s a deep tray unit beneath the chassis which can be quickly removed and, like the drawer, it’s part of a range of add-on units to customise your box to your specifications. You can add or subtract drawers from beneath the seat to alter the height between seating position and the footplate. One of the main improvements over past Superboxes is the stylish back plate, which is hard-wearing and has a skeletal-type base area to reduce weight. The new anti-warp footplate, which slides in and out from beneath the frame, is tougher and more stable than any previous Superbox plate. Further nice touches include the thick, padded carry strap and the threaded inserts in a couple of the leg tops, into which you can screw attachments or rests.
