This probably wasn’t the first Milo Tardis box I had perched upon, but the modern gel seat was firm and very comfortable on first impression. It was at this stage that a local fishing show beckoned and, being a tackle tart, attendance was a no-brainer. I looked closely at the Preston range and almost went for an X-box, but my inherent dislike of plastic construction… if it can break it will… was in the back of my mind. I need to feel rock steady on a footplate and some just don’t achieve this. Most of these I dismissed on the grounds of questionable durability and stability. I considered a second hand box, but those presented on Ebay looked decidedly past their sell-by dates, so my search turned to the cheaper end of the market. Budget constraints meant that I can’t afford £400 on an all-singing and dancing seatbox system, but I do care about build quality and value for money. I looked at dozens in tackle shops, on the Internet and various tackle show events. Would any chair prove to be stable enough for me, or which seatbox from the many out there? My usual angling companion has a Korum chair and the upright square section legs tick all the boxes for attaching accessories, like my ‘clever claw,’ but despite his approval of the chair, I was still undecided. After spending a year or so thinking about the best way to support my 20 stone frame whilst pole fishing I was left with a choice… Chair or Seatbox?
