Korum Progress Ruckchair SS

Korum Progress Ruckchair SS

Revolutionize the way you transport and access your tackle with the Korum Progress Ruckchair SS. For the mobile specialist, roving river angler, or pleasure fisherman who values speed and efficiency, this innovative system combines a comfortable, rugged steel-framed chair with a flatbed carryall base. By transforming seamlessly into a rucksack, it allows you to carry your entire setup on your back, leaving your hands completely free to carry your rods and landing net.

The genius of the Ruckchair SS lies in its ultra-practical, under-seat configuration. Rather than unpacking a separate bag on the grass, you can access your fishing tackle directly below your seat—emulating the efficient workflow of a match seatbox without the excessive weight and bulk. The integrated carryall base has been upgraded with a rigid, hard-wearing base to maintain its shape perfectly during transit, shielding your tackle boxes from impact on rough terrain.

With entry points on three sides and a dedicated rear slot pocket for banksticks and chair accessories, your gear is always perfectly organized and within arm’s reach.

Key Features & Specifications

• Hybrid Ruckchair Design: Combines a sturdy steel-framed bank chair with a high-capacity under-seat carryall that clips securely closed for transit.

• Direct Under-Seat Access: Retrieve tackle boxes, bait, and tools instantly from beneath your seat without getting up or scattering gear on the bank.

• 3-Side Access Points: Heavy-duty zippered opening zones on three sides of the bag ensure easy access to internal gear even when the chair is fully set up.

• Ergonomic Rucksack Harness: Features padded shoulder straps accompanied by a vertically adjustable chest strap to distribute weight comfortably across your back.

• Hard Base Support: Reinforced rigid base unit prevents the bag from sagging, protecting delicate tackle items and keeping the fabric clear of mud and damp grass.

• Integrated Storage Slots: Specialized rear slot pocket cleanly houses banksticks, feeder arms, and chair accessories, alongside external D-loops for clipping on unhooking mats or nets.

• Premium Construction: Manufactured from hard-wearing 100% Polyester fabric tailored to withstand rugged bankside conditions.

Pro Tip from the Gerry’s Fishing Team

Pro Tip: The Ruckchair SS is the ultimate tool for the roving river angler who likes to “swim-hop” throughout the day. When moving from one spot to the next, you don’t even need to fully pack your gear away.

Simply zip up the side pockets, fold the steel frame flat, and clip the transit buckles shut. Pop it onto your back using the harness and move to the next swim. Once there, open the legs, set it down, and you are fishing within 30 seconds. Utilize the external D-loops to clip on a lightweight roll-up unhooking mat to keep your mobile footprint as streamlined as possible.

Ideal Applications

• Roving River & Canal Angling: Perfect for walking miles of natural banks, towpaths, or river glides for barbel, chub, and perch without carrying multiple bags.

• Short-Session Pleasure Fishing: Ideal for rapid evening sessions on local commercial or estate lakes where a fast setup and pack-down is essential.

• Tight, Natural Pegs: Excellent for overgrown, jungle-like swims where space is limited and a traditional large carryall would clutter your workspace.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How comfortable is the chair for long sessions?

Despite its compact, transit-friendly profile, the steel frame provides excellent back support and stability. The seating position keeps you elevated at an ergonomic height, making it far more comfortable than a standard low-profile stalking mat or basic stool for extended periods on the bank.

Can the rucksack straps be removed or tucked away while fishing?

The rucksack harness is designed to remain fitted to the frame so you can pick up and move instantly. However, the straps are positioned logically so that when the chair is set up, they sit neatly flat beneath the frame, safely out of the mud and completely clear of the under-seat tackle access points.

Will standard-sized tackle boxes fit inside the under-seat carryall?

Yes, absolutely. The flatbed carryall base features a generous, rectangular footprint designed explicitly to accommodate standard large modular tackle boxes, accessory cases, bait tubs, and rainwear with room to spare.
