Kayak seat recommendations? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

This is the best seat I have used. I have an older model on my older X Factor and it has great back support. The new model even has better bottom padding. Andy (Iceman) has said he recommends this seat, in the past. If you look at the picture, I think it even comes with a bottle of beer. Hopefully some Ballast Point, Ha Ha.http://www.kayakfishingsupplies.com/...ic-angler-seat

That is what I bought from Andy before going to Baja. I like it.

That is another reason I have two for sale now.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll have to see if they can fit my budget. For now I ordered this cushion for those sore butt ailments.

Sorry I didn't suggest this earlier but those little kneeling pads that you can find at gardening supply stores for a few bucks work pretty darn good if you need extra padding.

The foam stadium seat type pad added a little comfort but wasn't enough for me and I wasn't happy until I bought a self-inflating air type. To be fair I was out for up to 8 hours or longer and would have probably been OK with just extra foam for shorter 3-4 hour trips. I still preferred the air seat for shorter trips too though.

So after testing out the foam pad at NPH I can say that it does help a little, but I still get sore from using it for more than a couple hours. Maybe it was the way sat. Anyways, after standing up for a few minutes (because I have a stealth

) my back was feeling better and the seat provided better comfort surprisingly for the next 3 hours after that.

Agree. I added one of these to my old Tarpon 120. Gave me an extra few hours of comfort. I traced my seat's outline and cut it to fit. Pretty cheap and easy solution.
