The Advantages of a Fishing Bed Chair

The obvious advantage of purchasing and using a bed chair on long overnight fishing trips is its ability to double as a great fishing chair when angling, and reclined flat to accommodate sleeping.

The dual purpose chair eliminates the need for hauling both a bed and a chair to your campsite. When shopping for a chair to add to your overnight fishing gear you should consider the following; bed chairs should really provide you with the utmost in portability, comfort, and convenience. Some things you should consider before buying a fishing chair include not only deciding on what amenities you would like to have included, but also the durability of the product. Consider carefully the materials used to make it. Some basic questions you have to consider are, is it weather proofed? Depending on your weight, is the fishing chair made out of lightweight aluminum, (maximum weight app. 190 lbs.), or is it reinforced for a heavier load capacity?

Adjustable legs are a necessity for a good fishing bed chair. This will guarantee comfort on the most unstable surfaces. Extended legs can now be provided with a bed chair for particularly unusual angles on the bank. Ultra-wide feet can also be fitted, these will ensure that your chair will not begin to sink on muddy surfaces. A good chair will have a back rest which can be fully adjusted, allowing you to create the perfect seating position. An equally adjustable footrest may also be provided. This should further enhance comfort and make sure that your feet will remain as dry and mud free as possible.

Weight is also an important consideration for the avid camping fisherman. Most manufactured bed chairs are built out of lightweight aluminum, thus allowing the angler the ability to carry the chair from the auto or truck to the campsite with relative ease. Most also provide a strap that can be hoisted over your shoulder, freeing up your hands to carry other necessary gear.

The bed chair needs to be comfortable. Anglers will always require comfort and will not settle for a chair which does not provide this. The time spent at the waters edge makes this a necessity. You could be waiting for many hours before a fish actually bites, being comfortable will allow you to remain alert and react quickly when needed. There are as many different styles of fishing chairs and choosing the right one for you can mean the difference between enjoying some quality down time or a miserable experience you will not soon forget.

Take into account the amount of padding used to make the chair, you may pay a little more, but the comfort level will be greatly improved.
