I need your help boys and girls, im looking to get a bedchair and wondered which one to go for dont mind to much on price. Also changing the subject a bit what do you think on back leads in relation to bite indication.

Your choice of bedchair is normally determined by your size.
Go to your nearest dealer and see what they've got.

Yes, I think back leads cut down on bite indication, but you have to offset reduced bite indication against line visibility and, I think more importantly, keeping the line out of the way around the rod tips when playing fish.

Back leads do reduce bite indication & when used in weedy waters are a waste of time,likewise if fishing a water that doesn,t have a flat bottom.In the winter u want to register every bleep if possible try using braid main line & 4' lead core so as to keep everything on the deck near ur rig

Peter,
get a Terry Hearn Stealth 3 leg Bed Chair. Pricey ?200+ but in my eyes well worth the money.

The other Terry Hearn chair by JRC - the Roamer - is also good and a few quid cheaper, but is only two leg.
