I have been looking at getting the deluxe version recently but like mentioned before I've heard a few bad things about it so was torn between the fox deluxe and the carp porter mk2 don with puncture proof tire

The handles being longer feel like got a bit of flex in them.I contacted fox about it,to see if can design a bracing bar.They said they will see what the design team say but have had no issues.I really do rate mine for days and long sessions

I replaced the standard wheel with that Prestige one on Braders recommendation, it fits perfectly

Had my explored deluxe 18 months now and aside from the wobbly handles which I'm now used to, its a great barrow. I get all my actual fishing bits in the under bag and hang a small bag off the front with cooking bits in.

I use a Chub Vantage medium barrow bag that fits perfectly on the front. You can get a tonne of gear in it and it makes it a dream to push when it's loaded up.

very nice but these front barrow bags are so overpriced ? I think I will just use any bag and a bungy
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.
