It certainly isn’t the ‘best lightweight fishing chair’ on the list, but perhaps is the most luxurious.For a low-profile chair, I found it easy to get in and out of. I have previously owned a fishing chair from a well-established brand, but it was a struggle to get out of at times. This is not good if your bite alarms go off! There is an extension bar at the front, so you can fish on steep banks if you wanted, but what about the rest of your gear?

Weighing a hefty 9.3kg, I would suggest this is tailored to anglers who fish longer sessions regularly, where you are more likely to lug this onto a fishing barrowor trolley as you fathom out your journey to your swim or peg. So there you have it, a decent feeder fishing chair that seems comfortable, offering a good selection of accessories and ideal for a day session or two.

Like previous editions, the mattress is waterproof, and removeable, and can be wiped clean easy enough with a damp cloth or fishing towel.

To be honest, I would rather have a lightweight fishing chair that is easy to carry, feels comfortable and will last me a few years. Compact, and lightweight, the price point is set quite high as there are better chairs on the market for stability. It didn’t feel completely stable, but this could be due to the uneven ground in my swim.” At only 3.9kg, due to the aluminium alloy used in the manufacturing process, this is the lightest fishing chair we could find!
