Dizzy Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Where's Wingy when I need him Anyone else into fishing ? Having tried freecycle and ebay (getting outbid everytime ) does anyone know where I can buy a cheap but good comfy carp? fishing chair from.... the sort with ajustable legs for stability that you can attach things too. I've now resorted to looking at sites on the internet but not sure which are reputable online shops and we dont know which make of chairs are any good anyway so could finish up buying a load or carp I'm at a complete loss Any advice greatfully received but why 'fishermen' can't just sit on boxes or foldup ?5 camping chairs is beyond me... so what if it hurts their backs after 4 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 What's the difference betwen a carp fishing chair and a trout or any other fish chair? try http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ARM-CHAIR-FOR-CARP-FISHING-CAMPING-CARAVAN-_W0QQitemZ370386651975QQcmdZViewItem?rvr_id=119842430201&rvr_id=119842430201&cguid=3ccd839012a0a0e203c3c523ffe9c7a7 Real fishermen sit on the floor.

indy Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 look for a make 'Korum' ........ I'm told that this is what you need to ask for .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Thanks Indy I'll check them out now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Good advice from Indy Diz. The Korum chair is designed to take most accessories. It also fits neatly onto the back of the Korum rucksack if you decide to get one. It is a purpose built chair. I'd recomend Daves of Middlewich for a viewing and good helpfull advice. Only 15 mins up the motorway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Dizzy, did you rub the magic lamp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 it would appear so Thanks Wingy and Indy... Korum it is then but having seen the price for just the chair (cheapest being ?60+ ) I think the young wipper snapper may have to save up for a bit longer or do some extra chores Guess we shouldn't have encouraced him back into fishing Anyway wingy where have you been ???

Evil Sid Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 he's been under cover to thwart a notorious black pudding rustling gang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 For your son is it Dis? One more Time Bandit on the banks then eh? If it's specifically a chair for Carp/Specimen fishing, then he would be better off with a straight forward chair without attatching any accessories to it. Mine is a roaver type chair and I've had it for years. It cost around ?40 from the shop mentioned. The Korum would be more suited for match type fishing, the kind which you see on the canal. He can get a decent chair for Carp/Specimen fishing a lot cheaper. I'll ask around from some of the lads. Other than that, I'll have a chat with your son if you like, just to find out exactly what he wants. Otherwise he could waste his money in buying the wrong type. Have a look at this one. www.mullarkeys.co.uk/fishing/chairs-and-bedchairs/chairs/0/starbaits/9377/ Similar to mine, and a reputable company. I've seen one second hand for ten squid. Don't dismiss genuine second hand fishing gear, there are loads of it about. The reason I have not been about is that I was abducted by Aliens. As Sid says, they were after me Mams black pudding recipe. I was forced to sign the official secrets act so can't say anything about it.

Dizzy Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 You and your mams black puddings Have you ever tried them as bait Thanks for the extra info... I think he would be wise having a chat with you. I'll pm you our phone number in a sec. We were ideally looking for a second hand one but can't find any advertised anywhere Speak to you later hopefully, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Thanks for all your help Wingy He now has a fishing chair thanks to you and your other network of friends. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Glad to be of help Dizz. I knew I'd come in usefull to somebody one day. All we need now is to get him to do a night session with me and Grubby Pants as our guest. You wouldn't know him when we brought him back the next day. Seriously though. He would be most welcome, and it would broaden his horizons on the fishing scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Not a chance after the tales you tell us about your antics Unless of course he reads your message as he'd be "well up for it" (teenage speak)..... fishing wise of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
