Fishing chairs have always been popular with pleasure, carp and specialist anglers. But, with the continued success and popularity of feeder fishing, out-and-out feeder chairs designed specifically for the task are on the increase. But what should you look for in one?
Whether you're a serious match angler or just enjoy a day on the bank pleasure fishing, a chair could be the most important item of tackle you own to ensure you stay comfortable. A lot of the modern chairs come with adjustable legs to keep you stable on uneven ground and have the ability for you to add accessories such as side trays and rod rests.

Chairs are also a great option if you require back support, as even the best seatboxes just don't offer that level of comfort, often causing you to sit at an awkward angle. The next thing to ask is what sort of fishing will you be doing? If you want to use a pole from time to time too with your chair, it is best to choose one without arm rests, as these can get in the way when shipping out. If you're a mobile angler that likes fishing the rivers, a chair that's lighter would be far more beneficial to that style of angling.
1. Korum Progress Supalite Stretch Feeder Chair
Best Feeder Chair (National Angling Award Winner 2025)
Price: $199.99
The Korum Progress Supalite Stretch Feeder Chair is built for anglers who want a rock-solid base on the bank without the faff. At its heart is Korum’s S23 frame design. In practice, that gives you a chair that feels properly stable on uneven ground, and it makes levelling up quick and predictable because the frame stays fixed while the legs adjust easily.
Comfort comes from the Supa Lite Stretch mattress material, which is designed to be more breathable than traditional fabrics, so it stays nicer to sit on during long sessions. The seat also has a removable padded section, a small detail that makes a big difference when it’s time to clean off mud, groundbait and fishy slime.
For transport, the legs sit neatly in elasticated loops and you get an adjustable padded carry strap. It weighs just 6.4kg. Add Korum Anychair accessories and it becomes a proper feeder fishing station.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Lightweight and protable fishing chair
- Stretch material is comfortable and breathable
Cons
- 23mm legs can be prone to slipping
Price: $199.99
2. Preston Innovations Absolute Feeder Chair
Best match fishing feeder chair
Price: $259.99
The latest version of the Preston Absolute Feeder Chair keeps the rock-solid feel you expect but improves how you fish off it. Four 36 mm telescopic legs level out uneven banks while the new centrally mounted 36 mm sliding upright replaces the old twin uprights to make side trays and Off-Box add accessories quicker to position and more secure.
Knuckles are tougher, the padded mattress is more comfortable, and seat frame is rock steady to take feeder arms, river tripods and keepnet fittings. Compared with the previous chair it is faster to set up, more adaptable, and better balanced.
When it is time to move or to tackle up the foldaway design and leg storage system keep everything tidy, and it is compatible with a new wheel kit turning the chair into a barrow. If you rate the original, this latest evolution of the Absolute Chair makes a good chair even better.

- Very strong and stable.
- Updated 36mm sliding upright for Off-Box accessories.
Cons
- Not the lightest chair available.
Price: $259.99

The specially designed feeder chair has a high padded back section that supports your head and neck, so if you’re fishing running water and staring up at your rod-tips for long periods, this chair will help rather than hinder you.

What to look for in a feeder fishing chair
When deciding on a chair for feeder fishing, look for ones without arms or armrests, as these can get in the way when casting or putting down the butt section of your rod. A high padded rear section to support your head and neck, combined with an easy tilting or reclining mechanism, is another ‘must’ because it will allow you to get comfortable, even when fishing on fast-running water where your rod tips are pointed skywards.
Telescopic front legs are another essential. Most banks (and this applies to all venues) slope toward the water, so you’ll need longer front legs to level up your chair. Having a design that allows the use of integral side trays, rod rests and a keepnet arm will always make things quicker and easier for you once you’re actually fishing.
Glossary
Accessories: Devices or gadgets that attach to your chair legs and serve a particular function.
Keepnet arm: An accessory designed to secure a keepnet to your chair.
Feeder arm: A way of attaching your rod rest to your chair and providing a place to position your rod when float or feeder fishing.
Mud feet: Oversized plastic discs attached to the bottom of the legs to stop the chair sinking into the mud.
Arm rests: Raised bars running parallel to the seat that allow you to comfortably place your arms on them.
Tool bar: A multi-purpose accessory that normally fits across the front two legs of a seatbox, primarily designed for holding multiple keepnets, but might also take pole socks, tulips, or rod rests.
Adjustable leg system: Screws lock the legs into place which can be unscrewed individually to allow the chair to be levelled on any surface.
Feeder fishing chair FAQ's
Can I use a chair for pole fishing?
The answer is almost certainly, yes! Whilst pole fishing isn't generally the easiest to do from a chair, it is possible if you look out for a few features. Some chairs have specific indents on the back to allow you to ship in and out with ease. It is also definitely advised to use a chair without arm rests as these will impede your ability to use a pole.
What chair is best for feeder fishing?
This comes down to what you are going to be using your chair for and how you transport it to the bank. If you only use the chair for sitting on and like to remain mobile, then a lightweight chair with minimal amount of space for accessories would be ample. However, if you like to setup in one place and have everything to hand, then a chair that has plenty of options to add side trays and rod rests would be far more suitable for you.
Do I need a chair that has adjustable legs?
You don't need a chair that has adjustable legs, no. However, if you can afford to get a chair that has adjustable legs, we strongly recommend it due to the versatility it brings. As we know, not all pegs or banks are even, and you will be far more comfortable if you can get your chair level. Having a solid base will also prevent the chair toppling over, which could end up with you and your tackle in the lake.
