The groundbait session requires an arrangement that keeps the chair stable and leaves free access to the fishing rod, groundbait and auxiliary accessories. Not every angler needs a whole seatbox; when you already have a comfortable chair, the podium can unite the seating position on a common base. The decision depends on the terrain, the width of the chair and the transport. A good scheme reduces unnecessary getting up in successive casts.

PRESTON Absolute Platform platform podium is designed with adjustable width to accept different chairs. The construction can be assembled and put away quickly, and a bag is provided for storage. This makes it a practical choice if you want to use your available chair, but you should check its actual unfolding and leg position beforehand.

Adjustable width decides only the placement of the chair; it does not prove the compatibility of all side plugins. For a holder, arm or platform table, compare the diameter and grip profile with the podium supports. Leave room for the screws, because a bracket mounted directly next to them makes leveling difficult.

On a hard and flat bank, you can work with a more compact unfolding, while on an inclined or soft base you need to carefully distribute the supporting points. Place the chair centrally, sit down for a trial run without the rest of the luggage and only then add the side load. If the base gives way, level again instead of compensating with the body position. Check the level again after the first sitting.

The feeder rod and the landing net must be able to be pulled out without contact with the table, bags or frame. Arrange heavy tackle low and close to the middle, and frequently used boxes put in range of the free hand. Before casting, check that nothing behind you hangs the mount and that the tip remains free of the side attachments.

When you are stowing, remove the load before folding the podium, and do not use the adjusting links as handles to carry. Clean the contact surfaces, dry the frame and put the individual items in the provided bag only when they are dry. After transport, look at the fixation, because the displacement in the trunk can change the preset.

First connect the platform to the remaining feeder tackle by Fishing accessories. Then open Platforms, if you want to compare decisions outside of the specific discipline. Finally, look Platform accessories for feeder fishing and consider which additions fit into your own shore configuration.
