Ollie - I'm not in any way trying to drive you away from AnglersNet but we don't seem to have anyone right now who can offer suggestions.

 

Try posting on www.maggotdrowning.com since they tend to have more match/pole angling discussions and are also a great bunch.

The X2 is a GOOD box. But there are SOOOOOO many about now you really want to take a trip out yourself and test drive a few first!!

 

Like all boxes you are going to have it a LONG time so YOU have to do the homework. Or at least I WOULD if I were spending a weeks wage on a seat!!

 

Where in the country are you?

I don't know thw Preston box but their gear has a good reputation so it's likely to be good.

 

I use a Fox Match Competition 6 drawer seat box and find it very good but it's a bit over your budget at around £250 (more once you've added extras such as wheels). It does mean that I can use the mud feet on my other fox chair though as they're interchangable.

Hi

 

After having a range of seat boxes over the years I finally decided on the X3. Brilliant piece of kit, hard wearing, comfortable, incredibly stable and a great leg system for levelling out, even on really wierd shaped banks. Can't really put my finger on what is the key thing about these boxes, I just think that PI have got all the little bits right on this range and that makes it a really solid product. As said before - you wont regret getting one - except when all your mates keep wanting to sit on it and try it out, like they do with mine when I'm trying to fish.

 

BTW, not affiliated to PI - just a very happy customer!
