You on a mobile to get on here ?

you from North east m8 ebay has one in durham have a look

Item number: 280328097365

Cheers ............. I will have a look now

Had a look at the barrow - I asked the owner a question about the rust (looks like rust to me on the photo's) on the sides of the barrow but he never got back to me ................ that would have been ideal without the rust.
I will get one sorted for my next trip out
Cheers anyway

Hi Mate,

A couple of years ago I treated myself to a Carp Porter (think it is the Mark 4S) and got the rear wheels for it as well.  It's a nice piece of kit and folds down nice and flat to get it in the car (even with the rear wheels on).

The only problem I find is that it isn't great on unlevel ground (which ofcourse most fisheries are?!) but great if it is nice and flat.  There is also a great art to loading them (which I am still trying to master) so that you get the balance right.

Fromexperience there is always a tendency to overload them and try and take everything in one go which usually ends up with a difficult to handle trolley or things falling off.  That siad it might reduce your 4 trips to 2?!?!?!

Cheers for that Johnnny ........... I will hopefully get one of the wife for my birthday soon - time to start dropping hints

I have looked at various barrows over my lunchtime and my favs at present are the Koala XL loader (with bag) for £65 OR the mk.2 carp porter for £80 ............... with the latter one winning on reviews alone - it appears they are very well built.

They are well built, but as I said there is an art to loading them.  Would also look to see the size of it, from memory it was always a struggle to get a bedchair on my old mark 2.

Forgot to tell you all - I went for the mk.2 Carp Porter on recommendations from 2 separate tackle shop owners (and 1 professional c%^& fisherman I know). Beauty piece of kit, managed the long Willowbank walk with just one load for a 24 hr session ............. well pleased.

Mel happened to drop in conversation the other day that we could do with one, not that she had been getting subliminal messages from me, lol.

thats hinting lol
