Fox Camo Barrow Cover CTR014

Product Information

The barrow is well-constructed, with extendable and height-adjustable front bars, foldable side bars, and removable handles. It can also be fitted with one or two wheels, depending on your needs. The mud guard prevents mud from getting on your bed or sleeping bag while the storage bag has a zipped lid for added convenience. Space is also a big concern to many that don't have large vehicles, so it's definitely worth considering a model that folds completely flat during transit. Glossary

Getting your gear to the swim has never been easier thanks to the host of wheel kits, shuttles, barrows and trolleys available on the market today. Match-style trolleys will take seatboxes, and many manufacturers also do wheel kits for their own specific boxes – well worth a look if car space is at a premium. You’ll find every household name you’d expect from such a quality range, including carp fishing barrow specialists, Prestige, with its award winning Carp Porter barrow range, and other leading brands such as Preston and Fox. From the latest in puncture-proof wheels designs right through to the finest trolley systems on the market. The next thing to consider is, how mobile you are as an angler. If you push your gear to the swim and you plan on staying there for the duration of your session, obviously you have to in matches, then a four-wheel version is great because it is very stable and can generally accommodate a lot of gear. What you will find, however, is four wheels are harder to push than two or single wheel versions, so if you like to stay mobile it would be far wiser to choose a version with less wheels. If you're a chair angler, a speci or carp-style barrow will suit you far better. What kind of ground will you be pushing it over? Four wheels are unbeatable on firm, level ground, but ploughed fields and potholed river banks are best suited to a single-wheel barrow design. An inflatable tyre is smooth to push, but a nightmare if you get a puncture. Look for a solid wheel design, or try puncture-proofing your wheels with products designed for pushbikes.

This barrow is powered by two 12 volt lead-acid batteries that have thoughtfully been placed in the centre for perfect balance. The product comes with two removable rear wheel kits as well as an adjustable propulsion option to ensure the barrow matches your required posture and speed.

In this round-up post, I have looked at seven of the best carp fishing barrows currently available. Each one has its own strengths and weaknesses, but all of them are great pieces of kit that will make your carp fishing much easier.The hard, waterproof lid is also a great feature, and the supplied large under barrow bag on ‘runners’ allows you to gain access to the bag even when it’s loaded, what a great idea!
