Why comment? It's a genuine question which I'm sure many people can relate to.

You sort of people are what makes this forum get a bad name.

A couple of years ago I had a Fiesta, the Porterlite packed down fitted flat in the back.
Personally I still think the Porterlite is the best barrow around, and now it is flat in the back of my Golf.

The mk2 is about 70mm longer and similar width when packed after you ditch the side bars. If that 70mm isn't a deal breaker I'd take the mk2 all day long

Does the job, but mine is going back to TB as the wheel section fell to bits. The barrow bag is being ditched as the wheel rubbed a hole in the side within 5 sessions. You get what you pay for I guess.

Wouldn't recommend the TB one, the handles on mine bent the first time I used it and I pack light when I go fishing, same happened to a friend of mine who also bought one.
Got a Porter mk2 now and thats a serious bit of kit, packs down very small but very well built, feels like it would last a lifetime.

but a better barrow in my eyes

I've used the cygnet sniper carp barrow for a while now and can't fault it.
Has a small pack down size, is sturdy and lightweight.
Also has an under bag.

Bit late to the party here but Ive got the JRC Cocoon 2G barrow and its awesome.
The whole thing folds down really cleverly and only the wheel needs to be removed.

This doesnt make it sound very compact but it works really well as its quite flat when folded.
You might get a bit more gear on one than a Porterlite, but I havent had one of those.

Carpology did a review (glowing of course) but you can see how it all works on that.

I managed to grab a second had Avid carp transporter extreme for £100.
The fella dropped it off in an older 2007 fiesta and it pretty much laid flat, tried it in my fiesta, and it fit perfect, so I took a chance and it worked out well, plus the wheel and handles come off so the barrow folds flatter than my bed chair.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
