TronixPro - Beach Seat Box

[@simontwaddell8015]

Only discovered you a month ago Mark. I've watched pretty much all your vids now including workshops ramblings which are a favourite of mine. 👍👍

[@seaangling]

Workshop ramblings will start again for the autumn/winter. I’ll be doing the first one when it comes time to light the log burner. 🔥

[@ricktarrant7209]

Some good advise as always Mark look forward to seeing your next Adventure. Keep it Reel

[@seaangling]

Thank you Rick, this will be the kit I’ll be using through the winter and with a bit of luck find myself a nice big winter cod.

[@gunnerroy1]

I use Velcro on the inside lid and have a few bits velcroed to it so easy at hand ie lighter, nail clippers bait elastic 2 rig winders that kind of stuff

[@seaangling]

I’m always losing my bait elastic 🤨

[@alanjones3968]

Another great video Mark,i was thinking of going for the Tronix Pro box but instead i bought the beach trolly ,the shakespeare box used to kill my back. Keep up the good work.

[@seaangling]

Everyone’s needs are different and this was a decision from me to carry less. I’m not getting any younger and some of those longer walks need a reduction in carried weight.

hi mate been absent for a while with work being busy caught up on videos today both of us tested positive this morning and feel like shit have avoided it for over 3 years hey ho really enjoyed the videos mate and love the new logo would like to buy a couple of the new stickers mate congrats on over 5k subs going from strength to strength with still the same enthusiasm as the first video congrats on your coaching qualification your passion for fishing is addictive was hoping to get out this weekend but that is out of the question now would love a guided session down your way at some point you seem to have found your unicorns at last tight lines mate

Hi Nick, sorry to hear you are feeling poorly. Concentrate on getting better and we can have a winter session some time soon. 🎣👍🏻

I hope they come across as intended and if they help, happy days. 👍🏻🎣

[@markdannatt9680]

Hi mark great video and very informative looking forward to the next one

[@seaangling]

Cheers Mark, I’ve got a whole weekend of coaching at Reelmasters coming up so I may try and get a workshop rambling done for the next one.

[@trampster7306]

Nice one thanks Mark! Don;t forget to put your rig wallet back in the box! And you didn't get back to explaining the little box under the rig wallet! I had a Shakey beta box and someone gave me a pair of trays for it, but they don't fit side by side inside the beta box so have upgraded to the bigger one. Usually goes on a trolley anyway so size not an issue. I also looked at Gas struts but that would have put me back to square one, so bought a sprung kitchen door hinge, and screwed to the centre at the back of the box with a 40mm x 200mm strip of 5mm ply, lift it up & that keeps the lid open! Stay safe & well - Dave. 🎣🎣👍👍

[@seaangling]

Ah, the little box. I forgot to return to that didn’t I? It is full of many wonderful things all of which are shiney and bright 🪄 In short it has a sample of anything small I may need, swivels, clips etc. The only thing worth mentioning that might help is I’ve super glued the partitions in so nothing creeps underneath and mixed together.

[@trampster7306]

@@seaangling Supergluing the partitions is something I hadn't thought of, and a tip-top suggestion! 👍👍 I usually carry two boxes like that - one similar to your for links and swivels etc, and another slightly larger one for Lures. Always take the Lure rod, even if bait fishing.

[@seaangling]

@@trampster7306 I can’t claim the superglue one as that was shared by someone else, I just spread the love 😂

Glad it helps, any thoughts on what one you are going for?

[@thejinxeffect]

@@seaangling just started looking, wanted something with a bit more room than my current cheapy Diawa knock off.

[@seaangling]

@@thejinxeffect these boxes with the backpack fitted are hard to beat really and I really like this particular size.

[@shakyangler]

Great video mark. I must admit with the different shapes of kit i have there is a lot of waisted space in my box.

[@seaangling]

The weight bags help make sense of that.

[@studay1007]

Spot on as always Mark, we are all guilty of carrying to much S*!T around with us!!

[@seaangling]

There is something refreshing about decluttering but then there is the anxiety of maybe needing something. I think I am almost there for my fishing. 🎣 I much prefer to make my rigs in the workshop than on the beach.

[@billstone3629]

Brilliant video Mark, some really useful advice as always. I’ve always struggled with taking too much gear when I fish so I try now to limit what I take. I like using the Shakespeare Box Sherpa as well, this has really helped me on long shingle walks.

[@seaangling]

It is so tempting to take that “just in case” or pack that because “I might need it” but in reality a lot of the time I’m hauling kit and not using it. There will always be that time you wish you had something but hopefully very rare.

[@danielfitzgerald795]

Hi mate grate video mate very interesting amazing the size of the box and all the bits you can get in it

[@seaangling]

They seem to be the choice of many shore anglers but as always there is always an alternative. This one works well for me. 🎣👍🏻

[@qualitytimefishing]

That’s made me think about how much junk I carry to go fishing Mark , thanks I will now have to slim it all down …. And that includes myself 😂

[@seaangling]

It was my recent 3 sessions at Chesil that made me rethink everything. I’ll be down there through the autumn/winter.

[@ianturner3033]

Good review Mark👍. I've been looking at some tronixpro luggage lately,🤔 and it looks ok, and decent prices. Using public transport though🚌🚌, I have to use a rucksack now.😟😟 Before I go out the door I always check with rods, reels, rigs, weights and baits. Then clothes and food for me.🤞🤞 This was after a trip years ago when I arrived and found I'd left my bait at home.😲😲 Luckily the 2 lads I was with had enough for me.👏👏 Thanks for sharing Take care and stay safe.😷🙊

[@seaangling]

I knew I wouldn’t be the only one but that is little comfort for a missed session on a perfect tide which comes very rarely. 🤨 I will be more careful in the future though. 😉

@@seaangling Sorry to hear that.😟 Hope you get another chance soon.🤞 There have been early signs of cod up here in the NE, but there has, just this week, been another mass of crustaceans, and apparently fish this time, washed up on the shores of Teesbay. We will have to wait and see the 'reports' on this one.

[@tommoore.8947]

I know you said you only carry 4-6 leads, but how many leads have you fitted in one? And is that with or without the grip wires sticking out?

[@seaangling]

6 x 6oz grip weights would easily fit in one bag.

[@tommoore.8947]

@@seaangling would you fit a few 5-6oz bombs in as well? I'm planning ahead for when a group ifnus finally pull-out finger out and head to chesil.

[@stevebothwell8006]

Great video Mark can you tell me what size the bait bag is please as i have just got one of the boxes .

[@seaangling]

I believe it is the standard size for the box.

[@mattskinner5432]

What’s your recommendations for beach clothing for winter warmth and waterproof comfort.

[@seaangling]

A very good question and something that has a few variables in my opinion. Layers are key and a heat source. Nice tracksuit bottoms and a T-shirt for starters, thin fleece zip up with a hoody for your core. It then depends if you are going for goretex top and trousers which I like or waterproofs. A hat and a heat source. For the coldest weather I use the zippo hand warmers but there are now the battery rechargeable types that I’d like to try. Some go for chest waders and smock but I find those cold. Thermal suits have their place but are hard work as single layer and make me sweat which in turn makes you cold. In short I would get something wind and waterproof and layers for warmth.

[@slopestyleuk]

[@kevincarter4163]

Hi mark, do you recommend a cushion for this box mate? Ordered one as it seems the logical step up from my backpack thats starting to rip apart. Thanks

[@seaangling]

I don’t have a cushion on this smaller box but I did have one on the larger version. I haven’t really missed it and have gotten use to the reduction in space. It sits better on the back and is less cumbersome.

[@kevincarter4163]

It's perfect for the type of beach fishing I do, I'm genuinely well organised and I think most of my gear will fit in that lovely. Thanks for your quick reply. Good luck with the cod season! Nothing my way as of yet (essex coast)

[@seaangling]

@@kevincarter4163 if you like the box well organised have you seen the 3 weight bags that fit perfectly in the bottom? I love the way they keep everything sectioned. They keep the centre of gravity low and the box is less tippy.

[@jamesrobertson9930]

Great video and review mate. I highly rate Tronixpro products (have the Competition Performance rod, what a tool!) however how would you say this box would stack up with 3 x Surfcaster fixed spools in the bottom? I have the Shakesphere Beta box and find that I need the extra room due to the bulkier reels (bulkier than multi’s). I would be interested to hear your view mate.

[@seaangling]

3 x 8000 series surf casting reels are certainly bigger than multipliers but thinking on it I would configure the box differently. Maybe use 1 weight bag for weights only and use the space for the other 2 for your reels in FS bags. You could even stack another weight bag on top of each other for all your tools, elastic, scissors, knife etc. In short I think it could work but I would suggest a deep sort out and see what is necessary and maybe weigh your box with your scales and see what could be streamlined. 🎣👍🏻

@@seaangling thanks for the reply pal 👌

[@davedewaal1762]

can you compaire it whit Shakespeare Seat Box, thanks master Mark

[@seaangling]

They are very similar but there are 2 sizes that sometimes catch people out. I’m using the smaller of the 2 with the breakaway back rest which makes it very portable especially crossing beaches.

[@Michael-c8x8i]

Where do I get the weight bags mate ?

[@seaangling]

They are made by TronixPro so their website and I think Veals stock them. 👍🏻

[@ukrider3222]

Would the breakaway conversion kit fit this smaller box, greate vid mate. 👍

[@seaangling]

I’m not 100% sure if the break away weight storage fits as I don’t like it and haven’t fitted it. The back rest has 2 different mounting types so you have to get the right one for your box. I much prefer storing weights lower in the box in the Tronix bags, makes the box more stable and less tippy.

[@ukrider3222]

@@seaangling oh no sorry I meant the part that you can turn it into a backpack. Thanks for replying 🙂

Be aware . There are two types of breakaway back rests. Make sure you buy the correct one for your box. I made the mistake of trying to fit the one with red fittings to my beta box.,when i should have bought the one with black fittings. Lesson learned the hard way.

It is “just a plastic box” but I think the price is comparable and there are others a lot more expensive.
