I have a daiwa one that is too big and awkward to carry anywhere so i only use it off piers. The wee blue Shakespeare salt is hard to beat. Have it years. Brilliant bit of kit. Folds down small and easy to carry.

If you think you might be fishing from piers and rocks often, you might want to buy one with a leg lock
