Mad Rock Phoenix

Advantages: Compact, lightweight and robust.
Disadvantages: None that I have found.

...The Phoenix Fishing System. What is a Phoenix fishing system, I hear you ask. Well basically it's a seat box on legs, with a few well apointed extras. I purchased the Phoenix fishing system, around two years ago, and it's one of the best buys I ever made. At that time the price I paid was £209 this was for the complete system, which incluled a footrest, pole rest and side bait tray. Now For My Opinion... well lets see it holds my 18 stone frame without buckling under the weight. All the octoplus products fit the round legs that come with the box, and I think this is a plus point. The Whole system is made from ABS plastics and fibre glass resin, so there is no need to worry about the rotting factor, as this will never happen. The box that I have is the cannal plus version with which you get two cross drawers... Read review

Advantages: Comfy. Good for narrower feet. Rubber sticky yet lasts well
Disadvantages: Colour transfer from suede to foot

...This is a good shoe for climbers with narrow feet and heels. The rubber is fairly sticky and they\'re a good, fairly comfortable shoe for medium grade climbers (I\'d love to say for higher grade climbers, but since I am not one... Still I've seen pics of the rock god/godesses in the mags wearing them, so they must be good for them too!) The back of the heel/ankle is quite severe and can dig into the achilles a bit, but I found giving the rubber and leather a good rub/roll softens and loosens it up a bit - they become comfy fairly quickly. The rubber is fairly resilient and lasts well on grit and indoors. My only criticism is that, being red suede, the colour seems to leech out quite a lot at first, but if you don't mind looking like you have some foot disease then I guess that's okay too......
