fishing chairs-feeder arms

[andystone]

watcha all, how many people use fishing chairs instead of seat boxes, and what do people recommend?

i already have an old 'fox' chair, is it possible to buy 'add ons' such as a feeder arm? again, any suggestions?

cheers.

I bought myself a Korum Lightweight Chair for which they make lots of accessories to fit to it, such as long medium and short feeder arms, bait waiters, umbrella fittings, both back and front single and twin rod rests etc.

It also clips onto the back of the new Korum ruckbag if you have one.

The additional fittings may also be able to fit to other chairs so its worth having a look.

I use my chair fitted with a long rod arm and butt rest for Barbeling where I cant get a rod-rest into the ground and I find it great.

They also sell the chairs with higher backs and more comfortable padded coverings.

korum now make a universal adapter so that the korum accessories can be fitted to any chair
here is a link to it but if you shop around you may be able to get it cheaper

cheers all, that adapter looks just the job!

[andystone]

but would i need one or two adapters?

[BoldBear]

Usually two I would guess, unless you can manage with a long rod rest arm at a slight angle which is also attatched to the same adapter.

The attachments come ready with a removable square piece which is made to fit the Korum chairs but I am not sure whether you can fit it to a vertical round chair frame after removing it so I would have a look before you pay for a seperate adapter incase you can get away without having to buy one.

i bought the korum stuff and sold it as i could not pole fish in a chair---its hard

[BoldBear]

I agree with you nodrog fishing a Pole on a low chair is not the best method to use a Pole by far, but for using a rod its fine in most cases especially if you can raise the seat if or when its needed.
