Platforms

[Zerkalo]

I've got a bit of a long shopping list to complete this winter ready for next year. One of the things on my list, other than a new seat box, is a platform for it.

I'm trying to look at what is out there and so far can only see the Matrix Duralite.

See if you can pick up a Fox or Rigger wheel barrow platform second hand. Alternatively buy an Octbox and wheel kit killing two birds with one stone.

Have a look at the Penrose web site
Had my platform for 20 years now and use it on my regular visits to Ireland and Scotland
In fact used it last week in the King of Clubs in Cavan and it was a godsend with the levels being so high

Under that super lightweight state of the art box, is a scabby old Penrose barrow platform. Minutes after this photo was taken, the photographer (Me) sat on it. I'm 19 1/2 stone. I can recommend a barrow platform as well.

Nice one. Penrose seems more like it in price and get the barrow with it too!

You can just about see the tops of the platform legs on Rossduff last week

Buy a box where you don't need one

It's a possibilty. Probably going to be looking for a new box before I get the platform anyway. Just thinking ahead to what I'm gonna buy...

Bit difficult when it’s 3 ft deep where your fishing

Quite expensive, for me anyway. Looks a nice bit ok kit, just laughing at what I plan to spend.

You get a barrow and a platform for that. .......'nuff said.

Exactly. I've never understood why people buy just a trolly. Once at your peg it's useless. At least with a barrow platform you get the best of both.

It's been a godsend with my iffy back Arch. ......Can now get home without the associated aches and pains.

Wouldn't be without mine. I used it as a bait stand the other week on the Trent. I've sat on it bream fishing on big lakes. It's nearing the end of its useable life, but i'll just get another one when it dies. As an AS1 user, I don't have box legs to hang all those gadgets we're told we can't fish without. So I stick um on the Penrose legs instead.
