At Gerry’s Fishing, we believe that success on the bank starts with a solid foundation. Whether you are a match angler requiring a modular command center or a specialist hunter seeking all-day comfort, your seating choice dictates your efficiency and endurance. A poor setup leads to back fatigue and slow reactions; a professional setup keeps you “in the zone” and ready for every bite.
Our extensive range features industry-leading tech from brands like Preston Innovations, Matrix, Daiwa, and Guru, ensuring that no matter the terrain, your station is level, stable, and customized to your exact needs.
Modern seating is no longer just a place to sit; it is a highly engineered piece of tackle designed to support your body and house thousands of pounds worth of equipment.

1. Match & Competition (The Seat Box)
For the match angler, the seat box is essential. It provides a level platform on steep embankments and keeps all your terminal tackle—winders, shots, and tools—within arm’s reach. The 36mm leg systems are the gold standard here, providing a rock-solid base that won’t wobble when you’re shipping out a 16m pole or aggressive casting.
2. Specialist & Pleasure Fishing (The Chair)
If you are targeting Tench, Bream, or Barbel and don’t need to sit bolt-upright for hours, a dedicated fishing chair is the way to go. Modern chairs now feature the same accessory-compatible legs as seat boxes, allowing you to attach feeder arms and side trays without the bulk of a full box system.
3. The Roving Angler (Lightweight/Compact)
For those walking miles of riverbank or canal, we stock ultra-lightweight compact chairs and “stool bags.” These prioritize portability and can often be clipped directly to your carryall or rucksack, ensuring you can set up in seconds when you find the fish.
The true power of a modern seat box or chair lies in its modularity. At Gerry’s, we stock a massive array of attachments to help you build your perfect station:
Side Trays: Keep your bait, towels, and tools organized and off the ground.
Feeder Arms & Rod Rests: Telescopic arms that eliminate the need for separate banksticks on wooden platforms or concrete banks.
Keepnet Arms: Securely position multiple nets for match requirements.
Footplates: Essential for seat boxes to ensure correct posture and to keep your feet out of the mud or water.
Transport Systems (Wheel Kits): Turn your seat box into a barrow to transport all your gear to the peg in one trip.
Pro Tip from the Gerry’s Team
Always use your Spirit Level. Most modern seat boxes have them built-in, but you can buy clip-on versions for chairs. Sitting just a few degrees off-level for a 5-hour session puts massive strain on your lower back and hips. Not only will you be more comfortable, but a level box also ensures your pole rollers and rod rests are perfectly aligned, preventing gear from sliding or falling during the session.
What is the difference between 30mm and 36mm legs?
36mm legs are the current industry standard for maximum stability, especially when using heavy attachments or fishing at long distances with a pole. 30mm legs are lighter and more than adequate for most pleasure anglers, but if you want “zero-movement” stability, 36mm is the way to go.
Will accessories from one brand fit another brand’s box?
Most modern accessories come with inserts. For example, a Preston OffBox accessory usually includes inserts to fit 36mm, 30mm, and 25mm round legs, as well as square profiles. Always check the insert compatibility in the product description before buying.
How do I maintain the leg locking Saltwater/Freshwater?
After fishing in muddy or silty conditions, always wipe down your telescopic legs before sliding them back into the main units. Grit trapped in the locking mechanism can score the aluminium and cause “slippage” over time. A quick spray of silicone lubricant (not grease!) on the handwheels once a season will keep them turning freely.
Are the seat cushions waterproof?
While most are made from water-resistant “pole seats” or heavy-duty vinyl, they can eventually soak up water through the stitching in a downpour. We recommend using a seat box cover when your station is stored in a garage or shed to keep the foam from becoming damp.
We have one of the largest displays of seat boxes and chairs in the UK. We know that “trying before buying” is vital when it comes to seating. Our team can help you customize a “dream station,” choosing the specific drawer configurations and attachments that suit your style of fishing. From entry-level setups to the flagship models used by the world’s best match anglers, we have the gear to support your passion.
