This feeder chair is a game-changer for anglers

This article is produced in partnership with Decathlon

If you're in the market for a versatile feeder chair that combines comfort, portability and practicality, the Caperlan CSB Feeder Chair is a serious contender. Part of Decathlon’s expanding Caperlan range, this fully-equipped chair comes with everything you need to start fishing straight from the box and, despite its name, can also be used for waggler and pole fishing.

Feeder Chair vs Seatbox: What’s the Advantage?

One of the biggest benefits of a feeder chair like the Caperlan CSB over a traditional seatbox is mobility. Seatboxes can be bulky, heavy and awkward to transport, particularly on uneven or muddy banks. Weighing just under 8kg and featuring a padded shoulder strap, this chair is easy to carry making it ideal for the roving angler or those fishing venues with longer walks to the peg.

Tactically, this lightweight approach also makes it easier to switch swims mid-session if required, something that’s far less feasible with a cumbersome seatbox setup.

Ready to Fish from the Box

Unlike many other chairs that require a shopping list of additional bolt-ons and accessories, the Caperlan CSB Feeder Chair comes fully equipped. Included in the package are a feeder arm, front rod rest, and a side tray with its own support leg which makes it incredibly stable, even with multiple bait tubs or other items on it. And at just £89.99 it’s genuinely one of the best value for money feeder chairs that we’ve seen.

Tactical Benefits When Fishing from a Feeder Chair

Although it’s called a feeder chair, this doesn’t mean that you are limited to just feeder fishing when using it.

Obviously, it excels when being used for feeder fishing. The extendable feeder arm provides rock-solid rod support, with the option to angle the rod skywards perfect for river work when you need to keep as much line off the water as possible. The multi-grooved front rest allows for fine-tuned tip alignment, which is key for detecting shy bites.

When fishing traditional waggler fishing tactics there are no bulky armrests getting in the way, and casting and mending line with a float rod feels natural and unrestricted. The flat, supportive tray also gives easy access to bait tubs and accessories.

While not a full-on pole seat system, the chair is low and stable enough for short to mid-length pole work, especially when fishing close-in on commercials. The side tray keeps essentials within reach, while the adjustable legs ensure a level platform even on sloped or uneven banks.

Design Details That Make a Difference

The CSB chair is built for comfort as well as functionality. It features a padded seat covered in durable polyester, with four adjustable aluminium legs for stability. The legs are 25mm in diameter, making them compatible with a wide range of aftermarket accessories if you want to add anything not supplied in the package.

Armrest-free by design, the chair provides greater freedom of movement when casting or shipping in a pole, and the lack of obstruction can actually improve your efficiency when fishing actively.

Overall, The Caperlan CSB Feeder Chair is an ideal solution for anglers who want the comfort of a chair, the practicality of a seatbox, and the freedom to fish multiple methods without breaking the bank or your back on the way to the peg.

Whether you're a match angler looking to travel light or a pleasure angler after a more flexible setup, this feeder chair delivers impressive performance, adaptability and value in one neat package.
