New Seatbox

[BambaParticipant]

I’m just after a few opinions really i’ve had a brilo box for 13 years and i think its time for a change, i’ve been looking at the Platt-Form Tuffbox series 6 i like the way its been built looks very strong but there doesn’t seem many places that stock them so any info would be good? also had a look at the new garbolino seatbox nice and comfy but i’m a bit unsure about the storage system underneath the seat can the plastic storage box can it be replaced by a aluminum storage unit? or extra draws? any info would be good Cheers?

Bamba hi mt8 lots of the postal lads have gone for the new boss box or tournament (same box but blue) as it’s incredibly light I lifted john brennans new boss box up which was fully loaded with gear + footplate + add ons and side trays and it was half the weight of my brilo, however don’t bother buying the wheel system there not that great.Not sure about the garbolino got a bit of a rough ride on here :¬)

If your going to be spending that much on a new box then i would suggest having a serious look at the milos..i’ve had all sorts of boxes over the years but i have recently purchased a milo pro 100 and in my opinion its the best box i have ever had..it is superbly constructed and has all the space i need (8 draws and decent base unit)..it is heavy but that doesn’t matter as i always use a wheel kit that i have adapted from a set of boss wheels.
check em out !

Milo’s are terrific boxes however they are heavy if you have a build like Arny worth getting one just to stay in shape, lol

Bamba.
Look at the Matchbox it’s a quality bit of kit & can be made up to your exact requirements.

On Box, nowt wrong with them

[Roach Pike Hybrid]

Milo’s are good reliable boxes. If you don’t want a milo a Rive will be just as good and should be a wee bit lighter? due to the lightweight alluminium add on units. Failing that, I would deff get a box with a sliding footplate as they are alot more stable than the folding ones. Preston on boxes are excluded from the sliding footplate cause they’re tacky and nothing compared to a milo/rive sliding footplate.

Take a look at the matchbox pyramid set ups,The’re nice and light,Not like the the majority of boxes out there plus they dont cost the earth neither check out the pyramid 4 box with 6″base and footplate £330 from benwick sports,Trust me the’re bang on,a few fellow anglers have had milos and on boxs and have changed 2 a matchbox when the’ve tried 1 out when buying a new box.Why do anglers need 8+trays and drawers anyhow?

Rive seem to have lost some popularity but many of the top anglers use them. I have just down sized from the full Rive monty to the station light. Why do we need platforms when fishing comercials off proper platforms anyway? The station light offers a stable platform to fish from together with a cross drawer and winder tray.You can add trays drawers etc as it suits you, or not. Its light and you dont need a trolley to move it or a large van to get it in. All for £160, defo worth a look.

Can’t beat Milo. All the way not heavy when you consider how far we don’t walk nowdays. Best by far try the 1200 pro

I have a tuff-box and I can well believe it’s going to be just s good in 10 years time as it is now. The all alloy series is a piece of superbly fabricated kit.Fosters do them.

I’m selling a new box on ebay for my local shop. It’s the Shakespeare superteam Matchbox. It’s super value at only £255, but at the moment the one on ebay is only £51.
Worth a look.

Ive had the Milo Magma 1400 since it first came out over a year ago, there after sales in this country is sh*t, it took me 6 months to get a part under warranty,the Milo rep would not return my calls and it was not untill I threatened legal action on goods not fit for purpose that I got the part. Think about warranty on boxes made outside the uk.

Platt Forms are nice boxes, had a look at one recently in my local shop. Fosters stock them if you have a look at there website. That’s the one I’d go for if I was looking for a new box.

[TF_boss baitParticipant]

got a platforms series 5 cant fault it had it about a year now had a preston box last time wouldnt touch another even if it was free

[Wannabe]

Mono, don’t know who your box came from, got mine from Nathan’s at Derby and needed a new seat and he just swapped it with 1 in his shop, they are very good like that.

Oakley, who are closing down due to retirement!
