Before buying any box consider the following:
1. Will it fit in my car?
2. Do I have a barrow or trolley that’s compatible or does it have it’s own?
3. Are the fittings robust, some of the knobs can’t take overtightening and split apart.
4. Is the seat cushion too soft or too hard? Both will give you sore glutes/ bad back.
5. Is the height of the seat adjustable in relation to the footplate? The ideal is for your knees to be in line with your hips and not below or above. Above and your circulation is impaired, below and you will end up with a bad back for sure.
6. Are the draws/compartments enough for your tackle needs.
7. Are the legs compatible with after market accessories or do you get enough add ons with it?
8. Am I impressed by the makers name and buying it because of that rather than considering the build quality?
9. Can it take my weight? Particularly if you stand up on the footplate, and does it feel steady?
10. Does the wife or partner understand that you just have to have it, or can you smuggle it in the back door? 😉
The Daiwa looks the part, but It appears to have the same sort of knobs that were prone to splitting and leaving you with just a bolt head, if you had been a bit of a Shrek in tightening.
