    chair carrier

    found the perfect thing for me.. Ron Thompson seatbox carry strap the padded bit is shaped like a crescent so fits nicely across the body and the straps at the end of the main strap where it is supposed to clip onto the seatbox wrap around themselves nicely and secure the chair legs etc got...

    landing net

    looked at the gardener one and also the korum latex spoon and also the rovex spoon side by side opted for the rovex 31" one in the end, the latex mesh on the korum makes the net a lot heavier and it seems the rovex is stronger than the gardner...time may prove me wrong tho:rolleyes: looked...

    chair carrier

    apologies if this has already been talked about? or even if its been done, but... is there such a thing as a decent Velcro on handle? im thinking along the lines of something to make it easier to lug a chair and solid frame landing net, though maybe a decent padded handle like found on other...
