My Seatbox Setup (Top Tips!)

[@Paulvick63]

Great video John modified my set up now Incidentally 25 years ago all keepnets came with tabs on end for pegging and we used to do this every session

[@JonArthur]

Cheers Paul, yes its something Ive done since my canal days

[@stephenjlewis1976]

My box set-up is almost identical. Except I have my old fashioned bait waiter (matrix) and a side tray, instead of two side trays. Love a waiter!

[@JonArthur]

Very nice Steve!

[@Ash7]

Thank you every days a school day. Keep them coming.

[@JonArthur]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@peterthornton8520]

I am so pleased to see that I am doing most of what you do with your set up. My only real difference is that I use a Pram Hood Large side tray which means that i cannot use your landing net rest. I also am going to use your suggestion of securing the bottom of my keepnets with Pole elastic using the pegs. Thanks for all the tips etc you gave us all this season. I wish you and your family and great and "MERRY" Christmas and a Happy New Year. PS will be booking a coaching day next year to improve my Pole fishing.

[@JonArthur]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@stevehiggins6540]

Bugger..just cost me 79€ (Yes EURO's...I live in Spain!)..had to buy a second tray lol. Very interesting about chopping that leg down..nearly said the 'middle leg'!! Plus using the brolly umbrella arm for the landing net...thanks mi'duck!!

[@josvandermaat3464]

Thanks for this video Jon! I've made some modifications to my S25 box: I am using the extendable sidetray that I could not fully extend so I've removed the handwheels from the footplate. Gives me about 3"- 4" extra sidetray length. I've attached the two plastic "sliders" from my bottom tray to a piece of painted plywood and slided that in the bottom section, giving me extra storage space. Merry Xmas to you and your family! Looking forward to your videos next year 🎅🎄🎣

[@JonArthur]

Some nice tips there Jos

[@stephengeoghegan-doughty.5870]

[@MARCLEEMATCHFISHING]

Jon can you do an expander vid for how you do the small pumped type and the pro expander, I'm struggling with them breaking down mushy

[@JonArthur]

Might do some bait ones later this year...

[@MARCLEEMATCHFISHING]

@@JonArthur that would be good because all the videos I've watched say to leave expanders in the water but they are splitting after couple hours, yet the Sonu ones have to be done with cold water overnight?

[@lenk1975]

Use the sonubaits Pro expanders. Cover in water the night before. Add any additives. Wack them in the fridge. Bang on the next day. I drain them if it's average temperature but leave them in water if its hot.

[@dt1607]

Putting but rest on front leg, great idea ive broke 3 but rest in last 12 month catching leg on them. Thanks

[@JonArthur]

Glad it helped!

[@peterleicester4701]

Sorry John watched it a few times - re keepnets does the tent peg stick into the platform ?

[@JonArthur]

I use the tent peg if it's going in the ground or stretch it over a platform leg or sometimes even my own seatbox legs if the platform juts out. Whatever suits the specific peg.

[@SteeeveO]

ah yes but should I put my wicker basket widest side towards the water or narrow side? 😁

[@antrog1895]

Whichever way the grain on the wood goes - grain WITH the flow - never against the grain. Cheers Steve 🍺 that had me chuckling 😆

[@JonArthur]

If you chop the top off your wicker seatbox... it'll fit in the skip easier! :-)

[@JonArthur]

Great advice!

[@rogergeary2893]

[@JonArthur]

[@TheDappler]

Has anyone fitted a clock to a seatbox

[@JonArthur]

I have a cheap digital watch attached to mine!

[@daniellloyd7557]

Can you put a fish next to my name please

[@JonArthur]

Hi Daniel, only my very loyal members get the fishes next to their names, but here's a 🐳! :-)

[@antrog1895]

I’m left handed so this was a waste of time for me. Cheers for nothing. 😆🍺👍🍌

[@antrog1895]

Found this really interesting- I cringe when I see nets set a few mm above the water line. Cheers daft lad 🍺

[@JonArthur]

😂 Suppose I should’ve reached a natural conclusion you’re left handed. Explains a lot! 🤣🍌🍌🍌
