Standard Height Post For A Leaning Type Seat?

Featured Replies

I have a Bass Tracker Pro170 and love it so far (second season).  The only thing I don't care for is the low, sit-down fishing seats.  I'd rather fish standing up, leaning on a butt-rest type seat.  

 

Is there a standard height for a seat post for this type of seat?  Should I get the adjustable type?  (I have a 33.5" inseam.)  My seat post bases accept the screw-in type posts.  I'd be happy to hear any advice or recommendations.

 

Thanks,

Bob

I have the adjustable post and Im happy I do. being 6'6" 

I would vote for the adjustable.  I think you can pick up the adjustable shocks for around $70 from Wal-Mart last time I checked.

Definitely the adjustable.  An inch can make a huge difference in what's comfortable to your legs and back.  Also get the pivot base for the seat.  Get the height and the angle right and it makes a day on the lake a lot more comfortable.

 

Sometimes you just want to lean against it for stability, other times you actually want to rest your butt on it, each time you will want to have the height a little different.

Thanks very much for the advice, gentlemen.  I'll be placing an order shortly.  :-)

Definitely go with the adjustable! They let you find the comfort level that's right for you. I just wish they made them just a hair taller. Being 6'6" with a lot of legs under me the tallest one isn't quite tall enough.
