hi in the market for a new barrow, what would people recommend? Interested in a carp porter so with the Mk2 or Mk4s as options what's the differences? Any others i should consider?. Difficult to see them in person at the moment so any thoughts much appreciated.
Cheers

Definitely a shortage full stop Let alone getting a chance to inspect them
Prices have jumped as well

Use a CarpPorter MK2 Fatboy. Absolutely love it. Will carry everything including the kitchen sink. No issues what so ever in the years I've owned it.

Definitely carporter mk2 with the puncture proof tyre I had a spare wheel sent with mine as well best barrow I've had,Ive found the nash trax ones crap tyres blew twice (I've had 2 of these) Nash wouldn't help their service was crap trying to source spares and I've even got the barrow bags to go with my carporter it's extremely well built.

Another one for the mk2 with a puncture proof tyre, I've had mine for almost 3 years and it's still like I bought it last week

I use the Carp Porter Porterlite.
Usually before setting up I walk round the lake looking for fish, so I have my rucksack on my back, it is used for 'bagging' the swim, legitimately.
The barrow then takes the rest of my gear, including a bucket of dog food, water, bait, bedchair, chair and unhooking mat (dog bed), tackle box, my RH Monster Unhooking mat which has my life jacket, rod pod, food bag and bivvy front in it, with my rod and bivvy holdall on top.

Use a Porterlite 2, ideal if you don't take a mountain of gear, fit mine all set up just without the handles in the back of my C1 with the rear seat down!

My mk2 barrow is better than the nash trax,I actually had a puncture in 2018 as I got on towpath of the canal so had to fish where it happened as I had lift to canal,luckily it's down the road for me about 1 mile away so my bro bought some slim up to temporarily fix it.I sold the barrow last year to a guy I worked with.
