Avid XL Reload Accessory Box

The Avid XL Reload Accessory Box is the definitive storage solution for the angler who demands total organization. Designed as a high-capacity hub for your terminal tackle, it combines a heavy-duty storage box with an integrated rig management system. Whether you are navigating the deck of a boat or setting up for a long-stay session on the bank, this box ensures every needle, swivel, and pre-tied rig is exactly where it needs to be.

Much more than just a plastic container, the XL Reload comes pre-loaded with a professional-grade tool kit and a high-capacity rig board. The weather-sealed construction and secure locking clips make it a fortress for your tackle, protecting your hooks and components from the corrosive effects of moisture and dampness.

Detailed Specifications

Integrated Rig Management

The XL Reload features a removable, high-density rig board designed to house a massive variety of presentations:

• Long Rigs: Space for 20 rigs up to 12 inches (30cm).

• Standard Rigs: Space for 40 rigs up to 5.5 inches (14cm).

• Security: Supplied with high-grip pins to keep your hooklinks under tension and tangle-free.

Key Features

• Customisable Lower Deck: With eight removable dividers, you can create bespoke compartments for lead clips, beads, swivels, and even larger items like distance leads or backleads.

• Full Titanium Tool Set: Includes the complete Retracta range (Splicing, Gated, Hair, Hard Bait Hair needles, and Bait Drill) plus Titanium Braid Scissors, saving you the cost of buying them separately.

• Weather-Sealed Protection: The lid features a specialized seal that prevents rain and spray from entering, keeping your hooks sharp and your PVA dry.

• Structural Integrity: A fixed central divider ensures the box remains rigid and prevents smaller components from migrating between sections during transit.

Pro Tip

Pro Tip from Gerrys Fishing: Use the XL Reload as your Master Rig Station. By utilizing the 60-rig capacity, you can tie multiple variations of your favorite rigs (e.g., different hook sizes or hair lengths) before your session. This allows you to react instantly to changing conditions on the bank without having to fumble with spools and needles in the dark or wind. Always wipe your tools down before storing them to maintain the life of the weather seal.

Examples of Use

• Boat Angling: The low-profile, wide-base design makes it incredibly stable on boat floors or benches, providing a safe platform for rig tweaks while on the move.

• Long-Session Carp Fishing: Carry enough terminal tackle and pre-tied rigs to last a week-long session in one organized, easy-to-grab unit.

• Competition Use: Ideal for match carpers who need to swap rigs instantly after a fish to maximize their time in the water.

• Lead Storage: The reinforced base and customizable dividers make it sturdy enough to organize a variety of lead shapes and sizes without the box bowing.

FAQs

Q: Is the rig board removable?

A: Yes, the rig board can be removed from the box, allowing you to work on your rigs comfortably on your lap or side table before clipping it back into its secure housing.

Q: How does the XL version differ from the standard Utility Box?

A: The XL Accessory Box is shallower (10.5cm vs 16.5cm) but focuses more heavily on rig storage and fine terminal tackle organization, whereas the Utility Box is deeper and better suited for bait mixes and PVA systems.

Q: Are the dividers secure for small items like swivels?

A: The dividers fit snugly into precision-molded slots, and when the lid is closed, the pressure helps prevent small components like size 8 swivels from jumping into neighboring sections.

Q: Can the Retracta tools be stored elsewhere in the box?

A: Absolutely. While they come in a dedicated section, the modular nature of the dividers means you can create a specific tool zone that fits your workflow perfectly.
