I normally have a MEDIUM one towards the rod tip and a LARGE one a foot below it.
This is an image of x2 LARGE ones on a 1.75LB Greys Prodigy rod (as I’ve run out of MEDIUM sized ones).
Thanks for all the feedback.
Was looking at the Trakker recliner but it’s getting on for £200 which I think is a bit much for what I’ll need it for.
I eventually went for the Sonik Bank-Tek Recliner for £72 which I picked up this morning.
It appears to be very comfortable, had a nice high...
I just re-spooled both reels with 12lb Hydro Tuff and am impressed with it already.
I got snagged up only once and had a hell of job breaking free (10lb flouro with a figure of 8 loop knot).

Cheers for all the comments and house insurance suggestions.

Anyone got any further options to add to the following list please around £100:
JRC Defender II Relaxa Recliner Arm Chair
Sonik Bank-TEK Recliner Armchair
Try to find stretches of rivers that have weekly club matches.
You will find that they have secure wooden pegs and that most of the difficult pegs will be kept tidy / steps cut in to allow easy access for the match anglers.
You’ll likely struggle to fish on a Saturday (matches) but if you’re...
Has anyone used this Dinsmore weed cutters at all please and can recommend them or any other brands ?
Also, any idea if them come with a protective cover at all as don’t really fancy chopping a finger off whilst rooting around for one in my rod bag !!!
