Korum S23 Deluxe Feeder Chair | Unboxing and Setup

[@garycorfield9998]

Hi but why do you only look at old gear that other people have already done

[@WestysAngling]

Cheaper and I don’t do it for money or views, I buy things with my own money and try and save people from buying the latest rubbish companies are trying to push 👍🏻

[@JohnBall-gw8cl]

The people that do reviews on brand new stuff are sponsored Gary, westy isn’t. Just buys stuff for himself

[@CiscoKid66]

This is a current model, so it's not exactly old kit. Lots of accessories to review, too. I'm looking forward to you using it and the long-term review.

[@nigelthwaites4475]

Hi I purchased the chair last year really impressed. If you are considering buying the wheels I would recommended getting the single wheel version .I got the two wheel version wheels fit to the legs iam 6 ft 2 and puts far too much weight onto the wheel not very stable .

[@matt01506]

THANK YOU ! This is the most indepth video on the S23 deluxe, and i just bought one thanks to your "no stone left unturned" video. 👍🏻

[@tubetonylee09]

Great chair Matt and nice review 👍 one tip I would give you is dont screw your butt rest into the top of the leg, use your cross arm as it will give you much more leg room 👍

[@PhilSchmidt-g2q]

Hi Westy, Phill from Carlisle here. I bought the deluxe model as my first chair. As I am 70 years old I decided to go for the most comfortable chair I could afford and I am glad I did. It is the best accessory I have. Oh and your presentation wasn,t too bad. Phill S.

[@WestysAngling]

Thanks Phil !

[@richardbailey507]

Great chair, had mine a year and have loads of preston bits on it. When mines set up fully it’s a right bit of kit. New to the channel and enjoying the content

[@craigelement7256]

Got my son this chair last year for Xmas. Top quality chair and easy set up

[@ThedawnchorusPlot]

Hi Westy, I bought the same chair last year and I can’t fault it. I also bought the barrow kit with it as well. Yes it’s expensive but well worth it. You can change it from the chair to a barrow in literally 60 seconds for me. I thought it was worth the money great review as always tight lines alan.

[@richiewong1]

Excellent, just got one of those as well. Using Preston inserts and universal arm so I can fit the feeder arm and side tray to it. Don’t forget the arms swing out of the way and can be Velcroed up for more room to each side as well.

[@Silvertech09]

I’ve got the S23 standard as don’t need to armrests. I also got the waterproof cover (about £15) stops the chair getting wet and muddy in the winter months.

[@keithdavies79]

Just announced a version 2 of this with improvements. I'm in same boat as you westy, bought mine just B4 chrimbo.

[@garethevans-yx5hk]

Highly recommended getting the single wheel barrow kit

[@timwarne6923]

My chair and I recommend the wheel kit!

[@asandmanrider-7941]

I got the normal S23 , as it was on offer for £75 at Angling Direct some time ago and couldn’t justify paying double for the arm rests and adjustable legs.Is brilliant and so so light, had it for a year now.Hope you”ll enjoy it and also hope the never ending winter will be over soon so i can back out😅😅.❤

[@LostinDigitalShow]

I bought one of these last year, and love it, also picked up the wheel barrow conversion kit in a sale at Xmas, so am now fishing further away from the car park at my complex 😁. not lazy...much..

[@WestysAngling]

Think I should get the barrow kit ?

[@LostinDigitalShow]

If its on sale yes, full price no, however, getting to those far away swims that no one goes to was worth it for me and allowed me to take more kit @@WestysAngling

[@chrisdevine2507]

Brilliant chairs, had mine a while now , won’t ever change 👍🏼👌

[@davidleatham6911]

Excellent chair I used New Fish accessories feeder arm tray and brolley holder with mine. Davy

[@matthewmoore486]

Great chair had quite a few korum chairs in the past and this one is the best . Some people don't like the arms being on but it's all down to personal preferences.

[@barbaraneville5036]

One thing you will find out on the bank the material on the back rest really keeps the draughts out Barrow kit is great on my korum chair Mind you in my saloon cars boot there is now minimal room for all the gear I like to take

[@barrywatson3013]

I bought this chair last year its great even the wheel barrow kit as long as your not overloading it is good, only thing I would suggest is if you get the side tray is get the smaller one as the bigger tray is not super strong but I put a rod rest stick under it

[@T5Zplayer]

I bought mine last summer and use it for both feeder and margin pole sessions. The folding arm is a plus here. The adaptors meant I could reuse trays etc from other brands that I have. The tilt controls are a bit fiddly but otherwise fine. Its not heavy and folds down well. It supports one of my most successful methods where the carp think I am dozing in the sun and think they won't be noticed nicking my bait.

[@WestysAngling]

Sounds like a stealthy method 😂 I love it haha !

[@CiscoKid66]

How well does it work when using a margin pole, and it did you buy any specific accessories for this purpose?

[@T5Zplayer]

@@CiscoKid66 I use it for margin pole, although move the chair to a slight angle. The only accssoory I use is a sock pole screwed onto the front leg threads

[@CiscoKid66]

I might use a ripple on the rear leg in addition to the pole sock.

[@what-a-load-of-carp]

Nice chair that pal, and good video as always !!

[@deanwalker6251]

Great review mate, the Korum S23 is something I've been looking at getting in the very near future, so hopefully I'll have one in the next few weeks 👍

[@FSHNG98]

I got a caperlan and korum bait bucket after watching your vids and the only problems I have with the chair is that the teeth are pants, the long arm bank stick I have had too adapt after watching you and the no arm rest and recliner but apart from that for the money there bang on for a starter chair or even for anyone really with a table and feeder arm thrown in too so thanks for videoing that back in the day.

[@double531]

Great review mate, just started going to commercial Carp fisheries in the last year or so up here in Scotland, I’ve learned a lot from you and your dad. Predominately a trout and salmon angler but I’ve did well for the Carp and Roach using your method feeder tactics. All the best to you and your dad, tight lines in 2024.

[@WestysAngling]

I would love to try some trout and salmon fishing !

[@petecoulam1587]

Hi Welty I am on my second Koram chair I had the 26 mil round firs and now I have the s 23 with the barrow kit ,as I am 75 it is great getting my kit to my peg. Pete

[@markhall0670]

Nice review . Chair looks great

[@stokelegend414]

I've just brought this setup haha its brilliant buddy. Solid chair the spring loaded chair legs are a good feature

[@WestysAngling]

Great minds mate 🧠

[@JoeMaguire-wc9og]

Next up is the barrow kit great chairs 👌

[@jeffnunn1784]

Nice video mate! I'm looking to get back into fishing after having not been out for nearly 20 years. Now in my 50s, it's all about the comfort. 😂

[@WestysAngling]

100% mate look after yourself 💪🏻🪑

[@markrichardson6629]

Hi Westy, I have had the chair for a couple of years, it's very comfortable. I suggest you buy the double butt rests and maybe the waterproof seat cover. I have the wheelbarrow attachment, this tends to collapse if it's loaded and you go over a bump😮

[@WestysAngling]

I actually have the double arm attachment 💪🏻 and the side bucket 🎣 I think I will still get the barrow , seems a decent idea although it’s had a few bad reviews

[@davepascoe]

Hi Westby I bought the wheel kit for the s23 and found it very unstable and awkward to wheel when I put ruck bag rods and Brolly on it but the chair excellent.Dave.

[@Carpycarpness]

I have an older version i think,it comes with a detachable wheel and handlebars tho,but this ones decent.

[@martingurman215]

Westy I have the standard accessory chair cant fault it,very comfortable for a day on the bank what was even better it was the bargain price of £70 as it was ex display and I do like a bargain,U do think you should buy your dad one,keep up the great work.

[@WestysAngling]

I think he would like it ! Matching chairs 😂

[@AnthonyPorter-l1r]

Pity they don't do a settee version would have been great for you and dad.😂

[@WestysAngling]

Hahaha podcasts on the bank on the sofa chair 😂

[@T5Zplayer]

I need a version with a dog bed

[@BigT90]

I have the S23 and it's great, wish I splurged a bit for the deluxe for those arm rests 😂

[@WestysAngling]

Seems decent ! Looking forward to getting out on the bank with it 👍🏻

[@mrfox267]

Hi mate I got the s23 when they first come out (£180) couple of points that has put me off using it , very heavy and bulky also had trouble with getting the back angle to suit me,either too upright or too far back , but the main thing that I found to be a problem was when you put the feeder arm on every time you move in the chair the arm + rod bounces all over the place , I’ve gone back to using my old fox warrior chair

[@joe15b]

Korum have just released the s23 mk2

[@WestysAngling]

I know and it’s literally the exact same and probably another £60

[@austinscars8588]

I just returned mine and swapped it for the DIAWA one. That KORUM is the most wrickity, wobbly chair I've ever sat on. Mine only arrived this morning and was returned to Angling Direct 30 mins later and exchanged it without a fuss

[@Zolik-d4q]

@austinscars8588 are you satisfied with Daiwa?

[@MrBrindleychris]

Hi westy love the content could you help me out with where or what 23mm inserts to use for things like feeder arm and side tray thanks

[@mightymaggot9510]

Should have waited as the new mark 2 is coming, one major plus is the new has a flatbed design so no leaning leg syndrome 😊

[@WestysAngling]

It’s the same chair pretty much matey ! Few minor changes and probably more expensive 😂

[@mightymaggot9510]

Would have to disagree with that having had the deluxe s23, it’s pretty well known that the legs start leaning, the new one has a flat bar bar frame like the preston inception ( preston and korum being the same company) which stays straight

[@barbaraneville5036]

Thought I would come back and tell you that angling direct are selling the barrow kit a little bit cheaper now 🙂 If you haven't already purchased a kit

[@alanhowes4398]

Mine broke after using for about dozen times, now using a garden chair

[@razoutFishing]

Welcome to Korum Seats Gang Westy! Have you fished with this chair yet?

[@WestysAngling]

No ! Will be doing tomorrow 💪🏻

Can you fix a brolly to the chair

[@ryancoleman9598]

Send it back and get preston monster 36. I had one these lasted a year

[@GaryBromehead]

Hi Westy Just getting back into fishing after a 25 year break. Interested in getting this chair and wondering what you think about it having used it especially fitting accessories. Are the legs strong enough at 23mm especially for a brolly adapter which we definitely need at the moment Great videos by the way

[@WestysAngling]

It’s honestly a really good chair, I’m not careful with things and I haven’t managed to break it yet 😂 legs are really strong 👍🏻

[@GaryBromehead]

Cheers westy. Have you had to use a brolly adapter yet

[@WestysAngling]

@GaryBromehead yes I do have one but I always use a brolly spike where I can as well which takes a lot of strain off the chair

[@MyDaz1979]

Do you know where to get the xs feeder arm nowhere has on stock

[@WestysAngling]

Try Preston innovations, they do a similar feeder arm that should still come with the Korum adapter

[@gwrbuckleyjunction1733]

Westy what have you done with your home made leg for the feeder arm Would be grateful if you willing to part ? Many thanks Sion

You can get brolly attachments , had them before, they are never strong enough !

Hi Westy. Love the channel and follow it. Just wanted to drop you a line about the S23 deluxe chair. I purchased one after several good reports, you’re one included. Only after I purchased it I found out it has a major downfall if you’re left handed and wish to purchase the XS23 support or feeder arm attachments as they WILL NOT FIT on the left hand side of the chair. I wrote to Korum explaining this after the purchase of a Support Arm, only to get the reply “sorry no it will not fit on the left hand side of the chair”. Just wanted you to let other Lefties know of this if they are considering buying Korum Products and point out the pitfalls of KORUMS anti leftist agenda. Thanks keep up the videos
