Maver Reality EVO Seatbox Review
I review the Reality EVO Seatbox from Maver. Ample Storage, Lightweight and very well priced - this is a box that you should definitely check out!
Having recently written a review of the Maver Reality R100, I decided I wanted to see what other Maver seatboxes were on the market.
Today I'm going to be reviewing the illusive Maver Reality EVO Seat box. What surprised me about this particular model (Maver L1220) is the lack of information around the web which made writing this article quite difficult - even Maver's own site had very limited specifications.
Quick Review
If you are looking for a seatbox that provides great value for money, the Maver Reality EVO Seatbox is definitely worth considering.
Luckily for me, one of my friends has recently picked one of these up from eBay and let me have a sit down and jot down some of the key features I feel would be helpful to anybody looking at purchasing this seat box.
Straight off the bat, the Reality EVO box comes in at a very affordable price of between £180 to £240 brand new, so if you're looking for a reliable and affordable seatbox that can store all your important fishing accessories - then look no further than the Maver Reality EVO Seatbox.
In this review, we will take a closer look at this excellent seatbox and its features that make it an ideal option for pole and rod anglers.
Sturdy Construction and Lightweight Box
The Reality EVO Seatbox is constructed with six 30mm round legs, which provide excellent stability and durability. The legs also have anti-snag fittings, which prevent your line from getting caught when you are fishing. Despite its sturdy construction, this seat box is also lightweight, weighing only 10kgs, including the footplate.
Each leg has well sized mud feet making uneven wet pegs a non-existent problem.
Mud feet at small plastic / metal discs usually round or octagonal in shape that make contact with the ground. Their increased surface area ensure that the legs of the seat box will not sink into the mud, hence the name "mud feet".
The light weight makes it easy to transport to and from your peg and especially useful when changing fishing spots. It also comes with a padded shoulder strap for those of us who have not yet invested in a box trolley.
Great Storage Space
The Reality EVO Seatbox is designed with ample storage, making it a significant advantage for anglers. It features two front-facing draws, a 100mm deep base unit, and a 40mm deep storage tray beneath the seat. This allows you to keep all your necessary accessories close and organized. With this seatbox, you won't have to worry about leaving any essential fishing equipment behind.
Key Points:
- 2 x Front Slide out Drawers
- 100mm deep base unit (Reels / Bait Box Storage)
- 40mm Storage tray (Terminal Tackle / Floats / Weight storage)
Comfortable Pole Seat
The Reality EVO Seatbox comes with a pole seat, which is designed with a pole safety strap for added security. The seat is also padded, making it comfortable for extended periods of use. This feature is crucial for anglers who spend long hours fishing and require a comfortable seat to reduce fatigue.
Dimensions and Weight
The box seat has a weight of 15kg and dimensions of 60cm x 50cm x 40cm. This makes it a compact and easy-to-carry option especially for smaller pegs and canals. You won't have to worry about carrying bulky or heavy equipment around, which can be a hassle when changing fishing spots.
Key Points
- Weight: 15kg / 33lb
- Dimensions: 60cm x 50cm x 40cm / 23.6" x 19.6" x 15.7"
Is the side tray included?
One of the most confusing aspects of this box when shopping online is the stock pictures which do show a very large Maver side tray being attached. Please be warned that all online listings (websites / marketplaces) the side tray is not included.
What are the negative points about the Reality EVO Seat Box?
With the low price point we can't have everything, but one thing really did stand out when trying out this box... where are the adjustable telescopic legs?
That's right, unless I completely missed them - this seat box is only really suitable to fairly level pegs as the legs can't be extended.
