Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp anglers fishing sloping or awkward pegs. The adjustable combi frame helps you get a more level, usable seat where the ground isn’t doing you any favours.
- Mobile coarse anglers and short-session specialists. At 4.6kg, it’s easier to shift between swims than a big, padded overnight chair.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers wanting a full recliner. This is a practical upright bank chair, not a lie-back luxury throne for sleeping between takes.
- Anglers over the 110kg maximum capacity. The stated maximum capacity makes this the wrong choice if you need a chair rated for more weight.

Quick verdict
A cracking all-rounder for uneven banks
The Sonik Bank-Tek Combi Chair looks like a proper practical bit of bank furniture. Its combi frame, quick cam-lock adjustment and longer legs make it useful on sloping ground, while the frame can also sit neatly alongside a levelbed.
At 4.6kg, it’s light enough for regular moves between swims. The 110kg maximum capacity means you’ll need to check the numbers if you’re a bigger angler, but for many carp and coarse anglers this is a tidy, no-nonsense perch for brew breaks, baiting up and waiting for a bite-time.

The aluminium frame, lock-out system and heavy-duty 600D/fleece upholstery give it a solid, purpose-built feel.
The combi frame, cam-lock adjustment and mud-footed front legs are well suited to uneven banks.
A stable, higher perch helps you stay comfortable and ready for rod checks, netting and quick bite-time reactions.
Quick cam-lock adjustment and a relatively light 4.6kg build keep setup and transport straightforward.
It offers useful versatility and bank-friendly adjustment, though the capacity limit narrows its appeal for some anglers.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Sonik Bank-Tek Combi Chair
Some swims are lovely and flat. Others look like a mole has had a proper tantrum. That’s where a chair like the Sonik Bank-Tek Combi earns its keep. It’s built for the sort of sloping, lumpy bank where a standard chair can leave you leaning sideways before the first brew has even cooled.
The clever bit is the combi frame. It’s suitable for sloping banks, but it can also be used alongside the side of a levelbed. So you’re not buying something that only works in one very specific setup. One chair can cover a fair few common carp and coarse fishing scenarios.
Setup is kept simple with cam-lock adjustment. That matters when you’ve just arrived, the swim is busy, and you want the rods out rather than spending ages wrestling with leg knobs. Adjust it, get the frame where you want it, then lock it down and crack on.
The front and back legs feature a lock-out system too. In plain English, that gives the frame a more secure setup once you’ve positioned it. You still need to use your loaf on a steep or soft bank, but the design is clearly aimed at keeping the chair planted rather than wobbling about like a dodgy picnic seat.
The longer legs provide a higher seating position, which can be a real bonus on the bank. Getting up to sort a screaming take, check a rig or grab the landing net is easier when you’re not sitting practically on the ground. It also suits anglers who simply prefer a more upright perch while watching the tips.
The adjustable front legs finish the job, with mud feet to help spread things on softer ground. That’s useful around damp margins and pegs where ordinary narrow feet can start disappearing. As always, have a look at the swim before settling in. A mud foot helps, but it won’t perform miracles in bottomless sludge.
The frame itself is made from lightweight, strong aluminium. At 4.6kg, the chair should be manageable for anglers carrying a barrow, a rucksack or a modest bit of stalking kit. The transport dimensions are 56 × 73 × 14cm, so it’s not a tiny fold-up stool, but it’s a sensible shape for tackle storage and moving between swims.
Comfort comes from the heavy-duty 600D and fleece upholstery. The seat is 50cm wide and 45cm deep, with a 40cm seat height and a 56cm back height. That gives you a useful upright sitting position without turning the chair into a giant bit of furniture that takes over the peg.
There is one figure you shouldn’t ignore: the maximum capacity is 110kg. That’ll suit plenty of anglers, but not everyone. If you’re close to or above that limit, choose something with a higher rated capacity rather than hoping for the best. No chair is worth compromising safety for a few quid.
Overall, the Bank-Tek Combi is about practical bank comfort rather than luxury camping-chair theatrics. It’s a cracking fit for uneven swims, short sessions, mobile fishing and anyone who wants a higher seat with quick adjustment. For long overnight lounging, a bigger recliner may be more your cup of tea. For getting comfy, level and ready for a bite, this looks spot on.

Our take
Why this chair makes sense on the bank
The big selling point is flexibility. You’re not tied to a flat, manicured peg. Adjust the front legs, lock the frame out and get yourself set up properly on sloping ground. That’s dead handy when the best spot isn’t the easiest one to sit on.
It’s also a sensible option for anglers who don’t want a huge recliner. There’s no faffy bulk here, just a higher seating position, decent dimensions and fabric designed for regular tackle-bag life.
Bank furniture · The useful bits
A light chair with proper adjustment
The Sonik Bank-Tek Combi Chair uses a lightweight aluminium frame with a combi layout suited to sloping banks and the side of a levelbed. That gives it more flexibility than a basic four-leg chair, especially when the peg is far from billiard-table flat.
Cam-lock adjustment keeps setup quick. The front and back legs have a lock-out system, while the adjustable front legs use mud feet. Together, those features are aimed at getting the chair positioned securely without loads of faff.
The 600D and fleece upholstery gives you a practical mix of durability and comfort. With a 50cm-wide, 45cm-deep seat and a 56cm back height, it’s made for upright bank sitting rather than sprawling out like a recliner.
Worth knowing. The maximum capacity is 110kg. Check that figure honestly before buying, mate. The chair weighs 4.6kg and packs to 56 × 73 × 14cm, so it’s portable, but it isn’t a tiny stool.
Peg choice · Session style
A smart pick for mobile anglers
This chair makes most sense if you fish a mix of swims and don’t want to be restricted to flat platforms. The combi frame and longer legs help when the bank slopes away, while the higher seating position makes standing up for a rod check or net job less of a chore.
It’s also a good match for day-ticket carp anglers, feeder anglers and float anglers who want a proper seat without carrying a heavyweight recliner. For a quick brew, a bit of margin watching or a few hours waiting for the rods to go, it covers the basics nicely.
If your fishing revolves around long overnight sessions and sleeping in the chair, look towards a larger recliner instead. Likewise, anglers above the 110kg maximum capacity should choose a chair with a more suitable rating.
Quick answers · No faff
What you need to know before buying
Can it be used on a sloping bank? Yes. That’s one of its main jobs. The combi frame, cam-lock adjustment and adjustable front legs are designed to help you find a more level sitting position on uneven ground.
Does it work with a levelbed? Yes. The frame is suitable for sitting at the side of a levelbed, so it can fit into a more comfortable overnight setup without needing a completely different chair.
How portable is it? The 4.6kg weight is fairly friendly for moving swims, and the packed dimensions are 56 × 73 × 14cm. It’ll still take a bit of room in your load, but it’s a manageable bit of kit rather than a huge lump.
