Does anyone think the new fishing stool is worth the money? I like the idea of it's lightness and how it packs down. But at £130 and thats without the foot stand is it worth it?
I've always liked Octoplus gear. Everything I've had has been well made and long lasting. However, I have about as much need for a seat box, let alone a stool, as I do a chocolate teapot. If that ever changes, I'd have no hesitation in buying Octoplus. In the grand scheme of things, their products aren't even especially expensive now. I shudder to think how much equivalent Rive products cost.
Here's a few alternatives. Admittedly, some have footplates, but they cost far, far more. The Rive stool is actually the closest comparable product. To me, it doesn't look as good, looks far cheaper, has less features, yet costs a similar amount.
