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

I had the spider angler seat which was pretty nice. It had "our thickest padding" but it still got uncomfortable for me after a few hours. A Thermarest pad fixed it and easily doubled my comfort time. A pad might work for you on your current seat as it worked on my old basic seat as well. Otherwise that spider was pretty nice with a high back, two rod holders, a little bag, and attachment points.

an extra pad is my alternative idea and maybe just get newer, not so expensive seat. Which Thermarest do you suggest Alan?

This has helped me tremendously with long hours fishing! No more lower back aches. Comfortable all day.

Check out the Kingfisher seat by Feel Free. Most comfortable seat i've ever used. Andy should have them.

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.
