Anyone been to the show today? I popped up for an hour. Got myself a new bag as the zips are going on mine and just a few leads and some pva. Anyone brought themselves anything nice?
 
I managed to buy a Korum Aeronium chair for £50,well pleased with it plus a few pellets and amino dip at a decent price 👍👍
 
I was hoping to get some pellets but they wasn’t as cheap as I was hoping they would be. Unless you brought one of those 25kg sacks or whatever they were and there was no way I was gonna carry one of them back to the car. I only had a quick walk the round the place to be fair so probably missed all the bargains. I was hoping to pick a cheap brolly up but didn’t see any at all. Only them brolly systems which I don’t want
 
Just a few amino pellets Jon to mix in with the halibuts etc in my feeder/bag mix,as you say the pellets weren’t particularly cheap,just saved a couple of quid on 3 bags for a tenner 👍
There were a few bargains to be had on a couple of stalls selling one offs/end of lines but on the whole the stuff was normal prices.We were there today and stayed till everyone was packing up(3 ish) that’s the best time to be cheeky get a bargain or two.

Hey Trevor, any idea if the Aeronium chair fits onto Korum's Ruckbag? (not sure if this question has been posed previously or not)
 
It probably does Terry, I use a bungy to fit it to my Drennan rucksack.
Be aware, although extremely light this chair has two faults. 1) the legs don't extend very much, so fully out it is still a low seating position. 2) the seat covering isn't very comfortable. My JRC specialist X-Lite is a much better product.
 
Good points Mike,I’ve got both chairs and the JRC is more comfortable but not being the tallest of people the short legs aren’t a problem.I tend to do short sessions so the Korum is ok but saying that I’ll probably get some thin foam just to pad it out a little.
As for your question Terry,I really don’t know If it’ll fit onto your ruckbag,it’s not the biggest of chairs so as Mike says it probably will.Sorry I can’t be of more help.

Hi Mike, many thanks. If I do buy one (but I've got 3 chairs already, one more suitable for flat banks though, which is still unused) I'll fit it with longer front legs. I'm really pleased with the legs I lengthened on my most used chair a few months ago.
 
Terry, leg extensions not that simple on the Aeronium. The existing leg tube has a cut out in it where the locking system operates, ( not a simple round section).Also the section where the leg slides into the frame is very short, so your extension would be permanently outside the frame. That would mean the legs would not fold flat for carrying. Sorry but I did look at doing this on mine.
I suggest you have a look at one before buying.

MANY thanks Mike for that info, you've saved me from buying another chair that I might use only once or twice. I'll maybe try fitting one of the chairs I already have to my Ruckbag.
