not very traditional i guess

[Bjp]

I am thinking of buying a shakespeare beta box in green for quick sessions and indeed river fishing , i already have a black team box and a breakaway harness and backrest that was purchased for sea fishing but i have found it is to big. i need something that i can carry like a rucksack because of back issues and something to sit on with support for the same reason, so my breakaway seems to fit the bill.

A creel is more traditional i know but carrying it and no backrest is a big issue, unless i could somehow fit the harness to it.

Not very traditional i know a big lump of green plastic but needs must, anyone else use a beta box? is it big enough for your needs.

Hi Bjp

Have you looked at one of these type of seats?
I have had the blue team box and the beta but find these bags lighter and big enough for my needs.

Hi Bjp
I use a beta box and it dos me even if it is blue. I use in the winter to take the wear and tear of my older sweatboxes.
I find it’s just the right size for my entire tackle, flask, sandwiches plus my camera and it keeps every thing dry and out of the mud.
It’s not too heavy as long as you put too much in it.

I think Shakey boxes are becoming pretty traditional, what's in a word.

Sir,
It may not be exactly what you want , as its not a box but perhaps you might want to consider the Korum "Ruckbag" and chair ?I have used the combination for the last 5 or more years . The system works brilliantly and the fact that you can carry a comfortable chair and rucksack in one , leaving hands free , is fantatstic. I fish a lot of the local rivers for Pike where a long walk ( sometimes a couple of miles ) is the norm . The ruckbag is great for this and comfortable to carry even when fully loaded . The ruckbag also lies flat so you can access everything easily , with suitable sized compartments etc . A fine piece of kit ! So much so that the group of anglers I regularly fish with all have one now !Sorry I know its not a traditional item.

What not get a rucksack plus a light chair. That's what I do. Baskets/creels are lovely in photographs, murder to carry.

I will go along with that Firebird but I would also add "seat boxes" to the list.

The worst buy I ever made was a Continental box made by Matchbox it weighed a ton no wonder match anglers need an electric trolley to shift em ,crazy, Lol.

My other set up is an Aldi bag and a folding stool which goes in my net bag. I am a great believer in traveling light.

Not traditional but a well thought out item food for thought that's for sure
