This was because I find I end up taking too much stuff like rucksack, chair, bait bucket and holdall, even for short afternoon fun general sessions on small pond and lakes.
With this seat box, I'll have the rucksack contents and seat all in one. It'll be transported on a trolley with the bait bucket on top. Only the rod holdall will need carrying.
The Box....
It was new, but had been mis-cast in the mould, so got it cheap.
I took it into work, and made some mods for it.
Its very 'Sea fishing' in its look, also because its bright blue :-( (I couldn't find a green one) But it should work a treat for short carp and especially quiver tip and float sessions.

| New latch in place. I'll add an 'R' clip to the chain keeper to lock the latch in place. |
Really happy with this now. Cant wait to add a seat cushion and fill it with my kit ready for the next session :-)
I might spray it green to tone it down a bit for the bankside.
