Interesting for river anglers

The concept for me has too many major flaws with the main one being sloping river banks.
Even a conventional chair with poor leg adjustment can allow the back legs to be folded in and do a half decent job on a slope but with your tackle and sandwiches bolted to the underside of your chair that’s not going to be an option here.

The other problem I see with it is the sheer inconvenience.
I mean of all the places to access your stuff from, this has got to be one of the most annoying.
Getting off the chair, on your knees to grab something out the bag doesn’t fit with my idea of roaming or fishing comfortably, where I want to leave everything in the bag and simply work from the bag, from my seated position.
I mean the guy is on his knees while showing us round it. Immediately that’s red flags all over for me. The only time I want to be on my knees while fishing is to be infront of my matt housing my prize!

I get the bag/chair concept. I’ve used it myself for years and it’s genius for transportation but that’s where it stops for me and also where most tackle companies have failed too because very few have actually come up with a decent design for it where the bag clips to the chair to be carried as one.

It’s got to be separable though in a fishing situation.

Now I’m sure they’ll sell afew because anglers are drawn to modular concepts and being an all in one it’s certainly going to be seen as a roving tool to those that are probably not seeing the bigger picture

It just comes across as very restrictive and inconvenient certainly for a river angler on the move.
