Traditional Chair
The first option is the traditional Chair setup. Built for traditional comfort on the low end of the pedestal height range I find this style to be ideal for the fisherman who wants to have the ability to sit back and relax as well as fish. Screwing a triple rod rack to the back of a seat is an easy add-on accessory as well. Everything from simple molded flip up seats to plush captains chairs are available to purchase on the open market to create your ideal experience. Of course you don't have to own just one type of chair or setup, you can own different styles and change your experience at will. Total Length for a pedestal including the seat mount is ideal between 13" and 18". |

Bar-stool Seat
This second option is a Bar-stool seat. Built for versatility this type of round seat is comfortable at the Low, Mid and upper height ranges. The lack of a seat back increases the anglers range of motion and access to tiller control. It is a Sort of combination of both a seat and Casting Stool having a wide base and a rounded exterior that lets your legs fall onto the inner hull at any height. Best used with a Air Adjustable 16 1/2 " - 22 1/2" Pedestal This type of soft round seat has a Symbiotic relationship with the round shape of the Hull, increasing the effectiveness of the one a kind Experience of 360 Degree Fishability. |

Casting Seat
This Third option is a casting stool setup. This design as many advantages over the traditional chair for the serious fisherman: Sitting in a higher perch at the upper end of the range increases your vision and ability to pitch into structure while seated, the lack of a seat back increases your range of motion making it easier to access control of the tiller handle regardless of which way your body is facing and going from a standing position to a sitting position is much easier on the lower back. In summary this is my favorite setup for the artificial lure angler who is looking to more accurately match the experience of being on the front deck of a Bass Boat. A proper height for for such a seat is between 18" and 29" inches. |
