Worth mentioning I have an Octbox 25 and as far as I know it’s the only manufacturer that makes an electrified trolly unit that fits into the box to form a trolly unit. Also a swivel seat is available. Rick who runs Octbox is super helpful and sorts out any problems. Keep up the good work I enjoy your videos.😃
Great video and honest commentary iv got the matrix super s36 in black you were right what you said it is a bit heavy but it will see me out now. Great video Ben keep them coming have a great xmas and all the best for the new year 🎣👍
As I am a very recent convert to the wonderful world of angling a seat box is the next thing in my sights to treat myself to. This has helped greatly, thanks Ben.
Owned a Shakespeare box it was my first box You can still buy the Shakespeare cushion ,I've still got one, which I still use. I've an absolute 150, Great video Ben, Have a great xmas mate!
OK I'm gonna put you on the spot I'm looking to buy a pole in the new year a pole I would call an all rounder Budget around 500 quid I would value your advice .
Forgot to mention Koala products do a pole seat for Shakespeare seat box or any seat box I've got one on my Shakespeare box they are 25 quid on ebay or amazon the are based at Knutsford Cheshire.
Another interesting video. Anyone had a matrix pro or H36 for a while as the videos I’ve seen the seat looks like it’s lost its original shape and firmness.
I've got the westlake mk 1 and I totally love it, does the job very well. I would have bought the mk 2 for the added footplate but it wasn't In stock at the time so figured I'd just get the mk1 and buy the footplate separately. But omg I've been trying to find one to fit it for over a year now. But I can't find anywhere that sells the westlake footplate on its own and for some reason there's no measurement online for other footplates. Does anyone know of anywhere that sells the westlake footplate or know of any other footplate that would fit the westlake seatbox. Be a big help if anyone knows.
On what plant can you get a matrix xr36 pro for £550. Your lucky to get one for less than £650 to £700. Angling direct only have one for £550 because its out of stock
Hi Ben another great video I’ve recently brought the absolute seatbox Ben but I returned it because it was bruising my thumbs because it was ridiculously tight when I was taking off the seat unit and draws I’ve also looked at 2 others at different shops and they was the same mate just thought I would mention it to you the guy at my local tackle shop agreed with me the shop is Matchman supplies
I’ve got the Westlake Mk2 which I bought after getting back into fishing 18 months ago. It’s been out 2 or 3 times a week and taken some stick and environment. As you say it’s absolutely great for the money and takes all my Preston attachments 👍.
The price of that guru box is ridiculous!!! It’s a seat at the end of the day!!! Anyone with one of those in my eyes has bought it to look good rather than what it is!!!!! You said if people with money wants to spend it one it’s there money to do what they want to…..I’ve got money but the only time I’d spend that on a SEAT….!!!! is if it was someone else money!!! Crazy!!! That Preston absolute is twice that guru in my eyes and that is expensive but not stupid like the guru!!!!
I suppose its pay your money take your choice. I do agree not for me. I believe fishing is getting more superficial in some ways than ever before. I myself find i buy things on ascetics to match rather on design. only on terminal bits, e..g pole socks, towels etc
My first was a Shakespeare with octoplus frame and loved it .
It should be a fishing law, you have to at some stage owned a Shakespeare box. I still own the one I bought 35 years ago!
defiantly
Absolutely right. I use it these days to store all sorts of stuff in my garage. It’s mouse proof.

Angling direct only have one for £550 because its out of stock
It was £550 when i did the video. So that was the cheapest available. It was also in stock.
@Angling4U but was out if stock.
As you no well when an item is out of stock the price is always lower for some reason
I love my XR36 comp on a H frame, but it’s heavy. You couldn’t carry it a couple of miles like you could with the Shakespeare boxes😢😢😢
Really good video mate 🎣👏🎣👏🎣
