On the recent seatbox thread, Paul mentioned he could not get on with boxes, and preferred a chair.
Well I do too, but and it's big but, when trotting I find a seat box so much more comfortable. I fully understand if you mostly sit still and wait for a bite, 100% a chair. But when trotting the box comes in so handy, reasons are.
1/ More comfortable as you can sit sideways if that makes sense, facing the way your floats going.
2/ A bait tray at hand. I cannot tell you unless you have tried it, but feeding from a bait tray saves bending, twisting and knocking over all the bait.
3/ Floats and shot can be between your legs, no looking in a bag for stuff, honest I love mine, looking at buying a better one now.mg: No love it was used and on E-Bay.
4/ You can carry everything in one, and that is the only slight downside when you need to move swims. So now I go fishing I decide on if I'm moving about, or sitting and waiting. One is a chair, the other the box.
You can however keep the box light by being really tough on yourself, and also use a trolley.:wh
