Carp fishing can be very active, but many anglers prefer static carp fishing. With this type of fishing, it can sometimes take a long time before you get a bite, so it's important that you're comfortable while you wait. A good and comfortable carp chair can be a vital part of your fishing set-up. At night you will be in your bivvy, lying on your bedchair, but for the hours that you spend on the waterfront during the day, a good fishing chair is important. A good carp chair not only offers a comfortable place to sit but will also have many other important properties too. Many have wide mud feet so the chair can be placed on any surface and many also have adjustable heights.
