Great Adventures Around the World | Fishing Chairs are essential

Have you noticed that when you ask someone in the local supermarket to show you where they keep the fishing chairs, they point at camping chairs two times out of three? It’s because people either have problems with telling the difference between them, or don’t even know that there should be any.

Camping chairs and fishing chairs are often confused with each other due to various reasons. The main one is probably the fact that they indeed look similar and often double as each other. Fishing chairs as camping chairs and the other way around. There also seems to be some overlap between the two categories.

Chairs that are intended for people who plan on using a fishing rod to catch their prey have a rod holder. It’s not mandatory, but a high end piece should have it anyway. The second thing every one of them should include is a little desk or table you can use to cut the bait up on, or to prepare the gear.

Camping chairs can be identified easily if they have an armrest and a cup holder, but no rod holder and no extra pockets in the back for baits, bobs or the smaller items. These are sometimes as simple as three folding tubes and a piece of fabric between them to form a three legged stool. Not something the enthusiast fisher would ever consider using for a longer period on the shore.

Proper foldable fishing chairs never obstruct the way of your casting hand. You should be able to cast even while sitting, and the chair has to be able to take the forces applied during this action.

Apart from these differences the two categories are pretty similar and probably that’s the reason for the common misconception that the two are same and identical. If you rarely sit for more than 4-6 hours at a time, there is no good reason to pick a hardcore seat if you’re not spending the majority of your off days next to water.

For just throwing the bait around pick a foldable one that is neither too heavy nor too low in sitting position, and stick with it. You’d be surprised how some of the cheapest ones can become something you love. Who would buy something for $100 when they can get it for $15 and the differences are so tiny that sometimes even a salesperson gets confused? I know I wouldn’t.
