+1 for the Trakker cover - its massive, elasticated and covers rods and handles. You need something that goes on easy in a hurry . . .comes in a neat NXG sleeve

I use a Basha myself.

Most definitely has a variety of uses. I've used mine for covering the barrow, as an emergency shelter, and even as a swim fence between trees to keep Sky in the swim if I've let her off the lead on Nazeing.

Thanks all, I have the thinking anglers one but I feel it's too smal, also I've read reviews saying the Trakker one leaks?

Thinking Anglers Cover Up had one for years good coverage
I use it also to cover up kit when on the ground whilst setting up 👍

I have the thinking anglers one but I find it too small for a loaded barrow,
Otherwise it's great.

That is similar to what I used to use years ago, but I used a motorcycle cover. It was only about £12 and elasticated around the edge. It was a bit big for the barrow but at least it covered everything with out messing about trying to make it fit.

And when I was winter fishing, I would use it keep my holdhall and anything else dry outside of the bivvy well wrapped up as I would keep the barrow down one side of the bivvy inside and could use it as a table etc and my bed would be down the other side.

I've had one of these for a couple of years,

Thinking Anglers - Camfleck Cover Up

It's got elasticated cords on the corners. It's a good size and is a nice materail that water runs off well.

The only bad part is I lost it 4 weeks ago

I've got a couple of these for when I go wild camping under my 3x3m tarp, work well and very cheap!

GroundMaster 80gsm Camouflage Tarpaulin - Waterproof Outdoor Fishing Camping Ground Sheet Cover (1.8m x 2.4m (6ft x 8ft))





(it's on Amazon, can't get the link to work!)
