Loads of 20 plus year old matchboxes still kicking about on the bank ditto brilo boss etc testament to the original build quality 👍🏻 nice to see matchbox offering this service..good on them
Wish everybody had the balls to challenge manufacturers 20 years later. I remember your post on silly season and thought you were the only blogger that didn't give a shit. That's what I love about your channel. Hope your health keeps up and you keep on posting
Calmdown Ken Cheers for that. Probably means I will never get a sponsor but who cares at least I am free to give a honest opinion, and that is what people want! Bill
Love watching your videos Bill 🙏❤️ I’m a huge fan! Made me start getting a set up and going to start going fishing again soon 😊, I hope your having a lovely day kind regards Hussain 👍🏽
New lease of life to your box Bill Nice work carried out must say. Thanks for sharing unfortunately I sold my box many years ago wish I hadn’t now. Never mind life goes on. Tight lines mate 👍
Some really good new features on the new Matchbox Simon, looks like I may have a trip up to Wokingham. Well done Bill for showing upgrade looking forward to more Easy Fishing.
Steven Chatfield Hi well I think the box upgrade was worth the money and was certainly cheaper than buying a new one. Most new designs are too bulky and expensive, in my honest opinion. If I need any spares at least I know I can get them. Bill
I had 3 of those Micras Bill,same colour as yours,Brilliant little car haven't got it now alas!Anyway,another excellent video!Had to relegate my box after 30 years of pole fishing which will cause some of us back problems later in life.I now have a Nash specimen chair and it's comfy!
Bill fist i have got to say great video matchbox made top quality boxes at fantastic prices that's why you still see so many of them today there build quality is fantastic you got fantastic quality for little money compared to today i gave my matchbox to my mate he still uses it and it's still in fantastic condition even today i couldn't believe there still going i have been on there website there new boxes are once again fantastic quality great value i would have never of known about there site only for you bill thank you so much bill you made my day your box looked fantastic bill albeit the quality was top draw you looked well happy with it bill you know what they say bill a classic never dies thats a fact cheers bill seat boxes today are way over priced in my opinion absolutely ridiculous prices the new matchboxes are fantastic quality on there website once again thank you bill great video very much appreciated sir ALIEN
Over priced i was looking at the rive seatboxes in my local angling shop not 1 box was under a £1000.00 I'm sorry but i would never pay that for any seatbox that is ridiculous but people do i spent £400 on mine daiwa tournament seatbox great box by the way that's all i would pay £400 no more you don't even have to spend 400 there are great boxes out there for less you just have to shop around it pays off to shop around i always haggle with the dealership for a lower price i did that with my daiwa tournament seatbox the dealership threw in 2 side trays free if i paid 400 cash always haggle with the dealership guys life is like a box of chocolates you never know what your going to get next ALIEN
Used to own one of these before I wrecked the frame by overtightening the screws,good old schhol British box,now got a Preston Inception but its ok and thats about it
Hi yes it is, but that’s the beauty of this box. You can fish with just the frame and drawers if you want or add a shallow tray underneath if you want a canal stool system. You don’t have to add or subtract draws to adjust the seat height either. Bill
Still use my boss compact ....as the saying goes ..if it’s not broken why fix it ,if it still works why change it ...had it over 20 years still going strong 👍
Richie Lamb I wonder how many of the present day boxes will be going in 20 years from now? Boss did some great tackle but seem to have disappeared tho’ Daiwa still use some of their designs. Bill
Stepehen Christie Hi I don’t give out my email address because of the trolls, however as I have said please private msg me on the Facebook page, Easy Fishing and I will try to answer any questions you have. Bill

I've got my old match box. I had it 15yrs ago did me proud. Now my 6yr old boy using it. Unfortunately I've got the preston innovations bug.
Ash The fisherman Hi nice to hear your old box is still going and being put to good use. Bill
Used to own one of these before I wrecked the frame by overtightening the screws,good old schhol British box,now got a Preston Inception but its ok and thats about it
Reminds me of 'triggers broom' :)
Hi yes it is, but that’s the beauty of this box. You can fish with just the frame and drawers if you want or add a shallow tray underneath if you want a canal stool system. You don’t have to add or subtract draws to adjust the seat height either. Bill
Ive got the "Matchbox" and use it weekly
Orson Kaart Hi it’s a great medium sized box, keep on using it. Bill
Is this place still open does anyone know I've messaged them for something similar but no reply
Still use my boss compact ....as the saying goes ..if it’s not broken why fix it ,if it still works why change it ...had it over 20 years still going strong 👍
Richie Lamb I wonder how many of the present day boxes will be going in 20 years from now? Boss did some great tackle but seem to have disappeared tho’ Daiwa still use some of their designs. Bill
Haha like triggers broom

I have created a Facebook Group - Matchbox seatbox owners club - if anyone is interested, just do a search and ask to join - thanks
Great video Bill theres no reason to change a good box if you can upgrade
Fish With Bish Hi that was the reason for the video. I love the design why change? Bill
