Which seat box ?

[craynerd]

Ok, i`m tired of carrying a chair around and need to keep my tackle neater! Anyone recommend a decent tackle seat box,is it worth spending a bit on a good one?

i have had a brilo box for ages really well built with lots of drawers . bit pricey about £300 i think but lasts well .only really good if fishing with the rod or pole in hand as it gives a solid position .also has a side tray for bait and foot rest .good luck.big al

Shakey Blue Tackle Box, can't beat 'em!

Green Shakespeare box with Octoplus feet bolted on (green is so much more eco-conscious Peter)

 

Just remember to close the lid before sitting down.

Have to agreed with Glenn but with a 9267/029-031 Shakespeare Top Box as well.

 

I have mine nearly 6 months now and I cannot fault it at all, it is worth buying.

Rive box. You can buy them mail order for about £80 for the basic box with a drawer attachment, then add all different trays/drawers in different depths as you need/can afford them. I've seen boxes that you will need to go on a body building course just to pick them up empty and that's at £300 a time The only debit side is that the clips that secure the units together can break if you lift them as a hinge. It's better to detach the whole tray/drawer and clip up again once you've been in the box. I've had mine for years and I wouldn't swap it for nothing.

If anyone out there has such a box with broken clips, replacement clips part numbers are; 53 01 007 Fermoir droit et gauche (le paire) about £3.75.

Daiwa have just brought out a new box for 2005(tournament) bit pricey but designed by Boss, if its anything like my 15 year old Boss box it will be a good bit of kit.

Just depends on how much money you have and how flexible a box you want.

Another good thing about the Shakey is that they take Fox Boxes a treat. And they float when yer boat sinks!

Have you thought of looking at the "For Sale" section of this Forum? Seph is offering a pretty good buy (IMO)

Definately, I've got the exactly the same and the only box I'd swap it for would be a brand new one.

 

Had mine for over 5 years and have never seen a better designed box.

 

Well worth £150 IMO.
