Not wanting to hijack The Crow's Thread, I have been looking at chairs/stools for roving. Most of my fishing has been static or totally on the move, when dropshotting on the Regent's Canal.
You can imagine how surprised we were to see an advert for nice looking stools for £1.00 each. There had to be a catch and there was - they are tiny! They available from Poundland. Sue bought one anyway and trying it out she decided she probably could use one. Absolutely no use to me!
As It turned out it is ideal on a sloping bank as your feet are lower than the ground the stool is sitting on. As you can see, Sue looks happy sitting on it. Next to Sue is my really cheap haversack-stool. To be honest the stool is okay but the bag is rubbish. Every time I use it I can hear the stitching giving way and it is already holed. The stool is useable bit it is not great. The thing only cost £15.00 including delivery. I should have know it was going to be flimsy. There is a Shakespeare branded bag-stool that looks better at about £35.00 but I have not seen one in the flesh, so to speak.
Now I am looking for suggestions for small, lightweight stools or chairs that we can port in or on a rucksack. Any suggestions. It does not to be incorporated as a bag/stool as I am thinking a separate bag might even be a better idea being easier to get at while sitting on the stool.
