Attwood Marine Butt/Casting Seats
Attwood Marine Casting Seats: Built for Anglers, Proven on the Water
When it comes to outfitting a fishing boat for a long day on the water, your seat matters as much as your rod and reel. Attwood Marine — a brand with over a century of marine industry experience — brings that same commitment to quality and practicality to its line of butt and casting seats. These seats are engineered specifically for anglers who need reliable, comfortable perches that hold up under the demands of real fishing conditions.
The Attwood Universal Mount Casting Seat
The centerpiece of Attwood's casting seat lineup is the Universal Mount Casting Seat (model 98505 series), offered in White, Gray, and Realtree MAX-4® Camo finishes to suit a range of boat styles and personal preferences. The seat is built around a foundation of ergonomic foam padding topped with marine-grade vinyl, delivering all-day comfort whether you're waiting for the next bite or actively casting. Beneath the cushion, a durable high-impact plastic base — notably constructed without wood — resists the moisture, rot, and warping issues that can plague wood-core alternatives in harsh marine environments.
One of the standout practical features of these seats is their universal 5" x 5" (12.7 cm x 12.7 cm) mounting pattern, which means they are compatible with all standard seat mounts. Whether you're replacing an aging casting seat or outfitting a new aluminum fishing boat, installation is straightforward and hassle-free. The compact profile — approximately 11" L x 15" W x 6" H — keeps the seat lightweight and unobtrusive without sacrificing comfort.
Why Choose Attwood for Casting Seats?
Attwood's products are held to the highest USCG, ABYC, and CE regulatory standards, reflecting a brand-wide philosophy that quality is non-negotiable on the water. Their marine hardware is engineered for corrosion resistance, ease of installation, and long service life — whether your boat sees freshwater lakes or saltwater flats. That same philosophy extends directly to their casting seats: no shortcuts, no wood cores that soak up water, just a clean, functional design that works season after season.
