Seat padding - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Anyone used the inflatable cushions?

I've got a foam seat pad that straps to my yak seat for an added 1" of comfort but my ass still hurts a bit after 5 or 6 hours on the water.

What's the best seat padding.. gel, air, foam? Looking to try something else.

Hot seat all the way, I took off the tech lift seat from my wifes Tarpon and put a Hot seat "Grande" in its place. The two aren't event comparable, the Tech Lift wore out in a couple years and had minimal padding while the Hot Seat looks nearly brand new in the same time frame.

The pad works great for her kayak, since it's the older style tarpon without a seat base. I'm not sure how well it would work under a traditional kayak seat though.
