ive been away from fishing for around 20 years and have been back fishing for around 4 months.
my old carp fishing type chair is just to relaxed and i sit on the edge either holding the rod or sit back a bit using the rod rests but its very uncomfy, my trusty old shakespeare seat box is more comfortable and i fish better using that but its far from ideal.
im 57 a 6 foot 2 and up to 18 stone, bad knees, back and neck.
i read most of the chair threads on here and the korum delux seems to be the favoured chair but it has arms which i really dont think i will like and the general opinion seems to favour no arms but favours the korum delux, which kinda contradicts, this maybe because there was a version of the delux that was armless but ive read that many threads its driving me mad.
my fishing will be mainly, at least for the next year, easy ish commercial carp waters like ie barford lakes.
i use mainly waggler pellet type fishing tactics or feeder rod.
on a few occasions ive used a second rod on the buzzer but only if the fishing is very slow going.
lots of waters have platforms or sleeper fronts, which is very nice and flat but the rod rest situation is a pain, i currently use a extra long rod front rest into the water with an gardener tripod as back rest (i know fishings moved on since there day).
i get by but its all very slap dash and make do.
i would ideally like a chair setup that accomodates a brolly,a table and left and right rods (for the odd occasion).
i wont be getting into pole fishing or match fishing.
i have briefly considered a seat box but thats seems a bigger minefield and a decent accessory chair.
the chairs im considering are as follows:
korum x25 delux (contradiction as i dont think i want arms.
a second hand korum delux armless some seem to come with feeder arm, tray, brolly holder and a back rest for between £90 and £120, these all have to be posted as there too far away to collect and obviously i wont be able to test drive them.
were the older korum delux armless as good as the newer x25 delux version.
somewhere down the pecking order are the kodex robo and the middy mx 100 feeder recliner chair and the preston monster or inception chair.
for those of you that have got this far and not lost the will to live, can i have your opinions please and if possible opions on attatchments, which brand and roughly what might it cost for what im hoping for by way of attatchments as i really dont understand what bits are needed and i got the impression they were going to cost around £200.
im not looking to spend more than £250 fully kitted out.
thanks for reading this.
