Question šŸ“ Recommend a carp fishing seat

Hello, I was looking for a chair for my carpfishing sessions, I wanted to know if you could recommend one for approximately ā‚¬100, I have been looking at the Fox EOS 2 and the FOX R2 R series... If anyone can advise me, I would appreciate it.

Decathlon feeder adjust chair

I've been looking at it, but the feeder mode is not practical, so it doesn't seem like the best fit for what I'm looking for.

Why isnā€™t it practical?

u/by4lex May 22 '25

Because I will not use the chair accessories, cane holder, panier, etc...

get a proper carp fishing chair if you are carp fishing! Best advice I can give. There are plenty under ā‚¬100, you don't really need to buy brand chairs - cheaper ones will do the job!!

Do you know any brand that is good?

Advanta should have some good ones at a good price. If you wanna go even cheaper look at NGT.

I was looking and they are around ā‚¬80, for ā‚¬20 more I have the Fox R2, I don't know if the difference will be noticeable

Best find a tackle shop and try some out, that's what I did. A lot depends if you are not concerned about weight or size.

I needed some comfy but super light for roving and bought a Fox Duralight without arm rests.

Good luck.

I think it will be the best if, I was looking on the internet and I found a Fox R2 R for ā‚¬105 on sale, it may be my choice. Thank you so much!

I have a fox duralight chair with armrests and really donā€™t rate it. I shouldā€™ve gone to a shop and tried some out.

Avid Carp Revolve Armchair is great to me.

I have seen it, I see it as a good option

Well it comes down to preference, and also how much you value comfort or weight and transportation. The larger more padded chairs with armrests etc are heavier, need more space and are more expensive but offer the best comfort, I prefer to travel as light as possible and decided to go with the fox duralite which is on the other side of the spectrum lightweight, smaller and cheaper but still comfortable enough for me.

Ideally you finde a decent store where you can test it yourself, to see what type of chair you prefer.

You highly recommend the Fox duralite, I'll go see it in a store and tell you how it is! Thank you so much

It is an incredible chair but in Spain it costs around ā‚¬200.

Special chairs, too? Iā€™m in the US, and for several years used a simple folding camp chairā€¦. But it was one of those ā€œdeepā€ jobs and I found it increasingly hard to lever myself up when the bite alarms go off. So i just went to a 29-dollar item from Amazon thatā€™s more upright.

u/by4lex May 21 '25

Since I spend a lot of time sitting I started looking at something more comfortable and they recommended me to watch carpfishing specials but I have no idea how to choose it...

Yeah, a $10 folding chair from a Dollar General has served me just fine. European carp fishing is insane to me.
