Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp and specimen anglers on longer sessions. The long back, padded support zones and drop bar behind the knees make it much easier to settle in for a proper bite-time.
- Anglers fishing uneven or soft banks. The adjustable legs and four mud feet give you useful control when the swim isn’t flat, firm and friendly.
Maybe skip if
- Mobile anglers who move swims regularly. The 5.3kg weight and fairly bulky packed size are less appealing when you’re carrying minimal kit and staying on the move.
- Anglers with very limited storage space. At 86cm long and 68cm wide when packed, it needs more room than a compact day-session chair.

Quick verdict
A cracking chair for proper comfort on the bank
The Trakker Levelite Longback Recliner Chair is built for anglers who want to settle in rather than perch on the edge of a seat. Its long back, padded support zones and adjustable legs make it a strong choice for long carp sessions, chilly nights and those wait-and-see bite-times.
It’s not the lightest or smallest chair around, so it won’t suit every roving angler. But if comfort is high on your list and you want a chair that feels supportive without becoming a massive faff, this one looks bob on.

The longback design, targeted padding, microfleece armrests and solid adjustment features give it a well-equipped feel.
The adjustable legs, mud feet and supportive recliner layout should perform well across typical carp and coarse fishing swims.
It won’t catch fish for you, but better support can help you stay comfortable, alert and ready when the rods finally go.
Push-button legs, one-touch mud feet and retaining clips keep setup and packing away relatively straightforward.
For anglers who prioritise long-session comfort, the feature set looks strong, though mobile anglers may get more value from something smaller and lighter.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Trakker Levelite Longback Recliner Chair
A chair can make or break a fishing session, mate. Get it right and you can sit through a long, quiet bite-time without feeling like your back’s been folded into a tackle box. Get it wrong and every hour starts with a wriggle, a groan and a hunt for a better position.
The Trakker Levelite Longback Recliner Chair is very much aimed at the comfort end of the carp and coarse fishing chair game. It’s not a tiny perch for quick roach sessions or a featherweight job for hopping between swims. This is the chair you take when you’re settling in properly and want a bit of support behind you.
The long back is the first thing you notice on paper. It measures 61.5cm, giving your shoulders and upper back plenty of coverage. There’s padding in the headrest, shoulders, lower back and thighs too, so the support isn’t just one big slab of foam. It’s placed in the areas that tend to start complaining first during a long session.
That should make a difference when the rods are off and you’re staring across the lake waiting for the weather to change. The microfleece-covered armrests are a nice touch as well. They give you somewhere comfortable to rest your elbows while you’re watching the tips, tying rigs or enjoying a cheeky brew between bite-time spells.
The front drop bar supports behind your knees, helping create a more relaxed sitting position. That’s useful when you’re fishing through the night or simply want to lean back and switch off for a while. It has more of a reclined, lounge-like feel than a basic upright bank chair, without turning into a full-blown bedchair.
Ground conditions are another area where the Levelite looks well sorted. The seat height starts at 40cm and can be raised to 48.5cm, while the legs offer 90mm of adjustment. Four adjustable one-touch mud feet help spread the load and keep the chair planted when the swim is soft, damp or a bit wonky.
That push-button leg mechanism is Trakker’s patented design, and it’s exactly the kind of feature you appreciate when you’re setting up with cold fingers or trying not to disturb the swim. You can get the chair level without a load of faffing, then make small height tweaks to suit the bank, your posture or the height of your bivvy entrance.
There is a trade-off, of course. At approximately 5.3kg, it isn’t a lightweight roving chair. Packed dimensions of 86cm long, 68cm wide and 35cm deep also mean you’ll want to think about how it sits in the barrow or car. It’s manageable, but it’s designed around comfort rather than carrying the absolute minimum.
The retaining clips keep the chair closed during transit, which is dead handy when you’re loading up or moving around the bank. Two eyelets also allow an optional shoulder strap to be attached. That won’t transform it into a lightweight chair, but it could make carrying it a bit less awkward when your hands are full of rods, nets and brew kit.
Overall, this looks like a proper sit-down-and-get-comfy option. The Levelite Longback Recliner Chair has the support, adjustment and bank-friendly feet for longer sessions, along with enough padding to keep things civil when the fish are taking their time. If comfort matters more to you than shaving every gram, it’s a cracking bit of kit to have behind the rods.

Our take
The longback advantage
The big selling point here is proper upper-body support. The 61.5cm back height reaches well up behind your shoulders, while padding is placed around the headrest, shoulders, lower back and thighs. That’s exactly where you want it when the rods are quiet and you’re watching the water.
The front drop bar supports behind your knees, giving the chair a more relaxed recliner feel. Add the 90mm leg adjustment range and four one-touch mud feet, and you’ve got plenty of scope to get comfortable on uneven ground or beside a sloping swim.
Closer look
A supportive chair with proper bankside adjustment
The Levelite Longback Recliner Chair combines a 61.5cm back height with a 53.5cm-wide seat, giving you a roomy platform without going completely daft. Padding covers the headrest, shoulders, lower back and thighs, while the microfleece armrests add a softer touch where your elbows sit.
The seat height can move from 40cm to 48.5cm. That’s useful for getting your knees and feet comfortable, especially if you’re fishing from a sloping margin or sitting close to a bivvy. The front drop bar supports behind the knees and helps create that relaxed recliner-style position.
Each leg uses the patented push-button mechanism, with 90mm of adjustment available. Four one-touch mud feet help stop the chair sinking or wobbling on softer ground. When it’s time to pack away, retaining clips keep the frame closed during transit.
Worth knowing. It weighs approximately 5.3kg and packs to 86cm long, 68cm wide and 35cm deep. That’s reasonable for a comfort-focused chair, but allow proper space in your barrow or car rather than treating it like a compact roamer.
Who it suits
Best for anglers who like to settle in
This is aimed squarely at carp anglers, specimen hunters and anyone fishing longer sessions where comfort matters. If you’re sitting behind the rods for hours, the long back and padded support zones should make the wait far more civilised. The drop bar is especially useful when you want to lean back and watch the water.
It’ll also suit anglers who regularly fish awkward swims. The adjustable legs and mud feet give you a fair bit of control over the chair’s position, so you’re not forced to sit wonky just because the bank is wonky. Get it level, settle back and keep the brew within reach.
It’s less convincing for mobile fishing. If you’re stalking carp in the margins, moving between feeder pegs or travelling light for a quick evening, the weight and packed size could become a bit of a faff. A smaller chair would be easier when the plan is to stay nimble.
Worth knowing. The optional shoulder strap can be attached using the two eyelets on the chair. That may help when carrying it, but this is still a support-heavy comfort chair rather than an ultralight bit of roving tackle.
FAQs in full
The bits you’ll want to know before buying
Is it a good choice for overnight carp fishing? Yes, particularly if you spend plenty of time sitting up behind the rods. The padding, long back and relaxed knee support are aimed at taking the sting out of long waits between a screaming take and the next bite.
Will it cope with soft banks? The four adjustable one-touch mud feet are designed for exactly that sort of situation. They help spread the chair’s load and give you a more stable base, while the 90mm leg adjustment lets you compensate for uneven ground.
Is it easy to carry? The retaining clips keep it folded closed, and an optional shoulder strap can be fitted through the eyelets. At approximately 5.3kg, though, it remains a fairly substantial chair, so it’s best carried as part of a planned load rather than alongside a mountain of other kit.
