Fishing seat/chairs.

[John Keane]

On the face of it the Korum Barrow Chair looks a good idea. I’d prefer 2 wheels on the front for better stability but that’s just me. I’d get one like a shot if I thought it would mean an improvement in my tackle carrying but I presently use a system whereby I carry a Daiwa (Shakey Beta) Box with Octoplus frame and legs and a large Drennan Bait Bucket and I think I’d struggle to get them stable on the chair. There are plenty of box systems that have additional wheels and handles but a chair with the aforesaid system is a clever idea.

It handles like a wheelbarrow and is stable and one can stop and it stands on the rear legs and the wheel. It surprisingly simple yet functional.

It will carry a maximum of forty kilograms as a barrow, so you can take plenty of tackle with it, and a couple of bungee straps will hold everything in place.

Most times when I go, I take a Korum table top bag, two cool bags, a bait bucket,two more bags, an umbrella and a rod hold-all.and it’s easy to push as well, and I’m pushing seventy.

Similar to my Penrose mate,I have one wheel that pushes like a wheelbarrow,these days I believe you have the choice of one,two,three of four wheels(be like pushing a pram),I don't know if Jelster has found a wheel kit,or the relevance of the most comfortable deluxe X25 chair if none is available,it's too heavy to walk any distance without risking a hernia,or aggravating the arthritis many of us suffer with...

Isn't this one of the things causing us back problems, we all take far tackle more than we need.

Seatbox wise I have the TFG compact seatbox which is one of the best bits of kit I ever bought. Very Old School but so am I so we get on fine. The carrying harness is a waste of space so I cut it off mine. I dont own a pole anglers gizmo box nor will I...ever. Can't stand the things.

Saw these in Go Outdoors today, how much adjustment is there on the legs?

 

[mikench]

Even I don't take 40 kilos of Tackle just bait!

Not a problem for me, I’m a big lad, and I’ve done heavy physical work all my life.

 

[108831]

So have I,paying for it now though....

Dunno....I set mine years ago and the legs have kind of stuck in place. Theres a few inches height adjustment...enough for me to sit with my thighs level anyway and I'm over 6 foot with long legs.

Question how much could I ask as a price for a korum chair and barrow
I want to sell my Korum Deluxe X25 chair it complete with the barrow kit I bought it Christmas 2018 Still like new
The reason for sell, I have back problems with three disks that have gone in my back and I cannot manage the chair and bought lighter chair
The barrow kit has never been used
Thanks for any help

Ouch,as to your question,I'm not sure,consult fleabay for a week or so maybe for the going rate???

 

[Golden Eagle]

Having looked on eBay there’s quite a bit of variation in price, down I think to the fact that they have to be collected as postage is difficult.

I think a fair price would be around £75 for the chair and barrow kit, plus roughly half the retail price for any additional accessories.

 

[Jelster]

I have been in contact with Preston (who own Korum) and they tell me that the barrow kit has been discontinued mg:

I can't find one on the Internet either, so I may have to reconsider my way forward.

 

[mikench]

Buy the one Chrissh is selling.

Spoken with Chris, he needs me to pick it up and he's in Derbyshire, and I'm in Wiltshire.....

 

[mikench]

It’s lovely in Derbyshire

Indeed it is, I used to live in Wingerworth....

 

[Jelster]

I had an email from Preston today telling me that a new “revised” kit will be available in October. No doubt it will be more expensive than the previous kit....

 

[mikench]

It could be well be worth the wait. I'll be interested to see what changes have been made.
