bolivier Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 So I want to try one of these butt seats out with a tall pedestal but don't want to spend a ton of money in case I don't like it. So....which of these low cost seats would you chose?? http://www.ebay.com/itm/ACTION-BOAT-SEAT-BUTT-SEAT-GREY-CHARCOAL-7501-503-/271263010180?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f28890d84 or http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-Tourney-Special-Pro-Boat-Seats/product/10205166/ Thanks for the input guys!!

Super User slonezp Posted August 25, 2013 Super User Posted August 25, 2013 You realize, those are only the seats without the post. I don't think it matters one way or the other. You will need to get the brand of the base and the diameter measurement to match up a post. Quote
war-eagle Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 That's right. The seats are inexpensive, the money is in the Pedestal, and bracket. Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted August 25, 2013 Super User Posted August 25, 2013 I think the height is more critical than the seat. A good seat at the wrong height will be uncomfortable. A mediocre seat at the correct height will be more comfortable. An adjustable pedestal is the way to go. The proper height for you will vary with conditions. A glassy calm day, almost any height will work, since your seat is a leaning post. A sloppy, windy day in a rocking boat, and you might prefer a shorter post. Standing in one position becomes uncomfortable. Slight changes in pedestal height can help prevent sore backs and legs. Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted August 25, 2013 Super User Posted August 25, 2013 What they said. An adjustable post is preferable to one that isn't. As far as the seat itself goes, get the one with the most padding. Don't skimp. Quote
bolivier Posted August 25, 2013 Author Posted August 25, 2013 Yes I realize that is only the seat. I was just wondering which SEAT one would choose since they are basically the same price. I already have an adjustable post and seat plate picked out. Do any of you have experience using the lean method? Is that how you normally fish? Quote
