Inception 360 Fishing Seat box Review from Preston Innovations

Today I'm looking at the fishing seatbox that appears to check all the right boxes for somebody like myself with lower back pain.  Personally, I love to rotate my fishing game, sometimes in the margins, sometimes straight ahead. The swivel seat on the Inception 360 caught my attention whilst perusing tackle websites earlier this year.

The Inception 360 fishing "seatbox" from Preston Innovations is the latest addition to the successful Inception SL30 Seatbox line. It features a 100mm deep base unit and a fairly deep side draw for storing all of your terminal tackle (weights, hooks, rigs etc), but with an added 360-degree rotating seat to allow you (the angler) to spin on your chair whilst nobody is watching (or maybe to fish the margins easier - whichever you prefer)

The Inception 360 fishing box is equipped with new revolutionary MAG-LOK® clips that keep the everything securely in place, but can be easily opened for access to the base compartment for storing all your "nik-naks", tackle, mobile phone or corned beef sandwiches. The footplate is locked in place with two plungers on each side, ensuring it stays in the perfect position at the bank or even when not in use.

The 360 seat unit can also be purchased separately and used with any Inception or Absolute seat box. The complete set includes the 360 seat unit, deep side drawer unit, 100mm container base unit, two 30mm telescopic seatbox legs (45cm and 50cm), two 30mm standard seatbox legs (45cm), a cassette bar, footplate, and a deluxe padded shoulder strap to make carrying an absolute breeze!

Specifications

The Inception 360 is absolutely packed with features suitable for anglers new and old (less of the old).  I have broken down each of the features below.

Weight

The total weight of the complete set is 16.5kg / 36.3lb making it a very portable seat box suitable for carrying (using the supplied padded shoulder strap) to and from your peg.  

360 Seat Unit

This is the rotating seat on top of the fishing seat box that allows anglers to have comfort and convenience while fishing in the margins. The 360 degree rotation provides easy access to all angles and allows anglers to change positions easily.  The back rest is definitely a welcome feature - which I wish more fishing seat manufacturers would add to their seat boxes.

Deep Side Drawer Unit

This is a deep compartmented unit that provides additional storage space for anglers to keep their fishing gear organized. It helps to keep everything in one place and easily accessible.

100mm Container Base Unit

This is the base of the fishing seat box that provides the foundation for the seat and side drawer unit. It is 100mm deep, which provides ample space to store fishing gear and keep it organized.

2 x 30mm Telescopic Seatbox Legs 45cm and 50cm

These are the legs that support and ensure the fishing seat box remains level.  To help protect your back, sitting on a perfect horizontal angle will not only benefit your fishing style - but will help your posture as you shoot dirty looks at the bloke 2 pegs down pulling bream out every 10 minutes.

Once your seat box is "level", tighten the rubber coated thumb grips for a secure and "level" fishing experience.

It's also worth noting, that due to the 360° swivel seat - if your box is even slightly at an angle - the seat will naturally rotate putting more pressure on your lower back causing some long term discomfort (source).

The legs are adjustable, allowing anglers to set the height of the seat box to their preference. There are two telescopic legs in each set, each with a different length (45cm and 50cm), to accommodate different fishing environments.

2 x 30mm Standard Seatbox Legs 45cm

These are additional legs that can be used to provide extra support for the fishing seat box. Each circular leg is 30mm (3cm) in diameter allowing accessories like pole rests / trays to be attached with ease.

Cassette bar & Footplate

The cassette bar is a sturdy bar that is used to secure the legs in place, ensuring that the fishing seat box remains stable and level. The footplate  is attached to the front 2 legs and is secured into position using the rubber coated thumb grips.

Deluxe Padded Shoulder Strap

This is a padded shoulder strap that is designed for comfort and convenience when carrying the fishing seat box. The heavy duty padding which is not very evident on cheaper seat boxes ensures complete comfort (depending on how much tackle you pack) whilst moving to or between pegs.

Conclusion

Yes for many professional anglers the sheer thought of a fishing seat instead of a box sends shivers through their spines and causes intense ripples through space and time - but hear me out on this.

For somebody who spends most of their day sat in an office, comfort is something I look for when deciding on purchasing anything new that I will spend a lot of time using.  You need to choose a product that matches your style of fishing, and for me this seat box matches mine.

I am lucky enough to not only pole fish, but engoy the waggler with a rod and reel - this seat box is perfect for me and my needs.  The back rest gives me more than enough room to push my pole back over the rollers whilst allowing me "sit back" to save my lower back from eternal doom.

Best Price

I've noticed only a few retailers have this in stock with prices ranging from £389.99 to £319.99 depending on delivery times.  My local Angling supplies shop were able to get this within 7 days direct from Preston Innovations complete with all the accessories listed above.
