I guess most of us have owned or do own a fishing chair - but what to look for when buying a new model
1 comfort - look might be sitting for hours
2 strength - you want something that holds your weight easily
3 weight - if you are carrying it far you don't want it too heavy
4 adjustable legs - so you can get it level on an uneven bank
5 adjustable back - so you sit in the correct position
BUT the most important feature is
LEGS THAT LOCK IN TO POSITION - by that I don't mean hight but legs that don't slide under you
I bought a new chair last year and it's back legs move when you stand up and then sit back down - result - the chair tilts back and I end up sat looking up at the sky - this has happened several times so far - most with nothing more than a bruised ego but I have had a lap full of groundbait, a lap full of maggots and a lap full of coffee that burnt my gentleman's region
So be warned - next time you buy a chair make sure it;s one with legs that lock and stay in position or you may just be the next fool on his ar$e on the bank or his scrotum the colour of a clown's nose
