Barrow cover recommendations? (34 posts / 3,973 views)

I'm looking for a barrow cover that will cover all my kit when traveling from the car to a peg but also for keeping the barrow and it's luggage bag dry when I'm set up save taking it back to the car.

I've looked at the JRC one but I'm going to return it as it's not ideal for what I'm looking for, realistically it's definitely got to have an elasticated hem.

The issue I have is my local tackle store don't have many in stock but will get them in for me, I just need to be sure I'm happy with the one I'm asking them to order.

Anyone recommend a cover? Any one used the Avid one?

I've got the carp-porter one on my power porter, does the job. You could also ask Army Andy, Edel Mayer or Midwater luggage to make one for you, I've used all 3 for various items and all have been top quality.

The Porter One I have isn't elasticated but done with a drawcord and toggle that tighens up depending on load. It is however big enough to cover a Nissan Micra and probably heavier than the barrow it's protecting. I keep in van for the biblical rain days!

Carp porter xl..with the bag to store on handles.
Covers everything with plenty to spare...

Fully tape sealed too.
Not cheap. But would replace mine if I lost it.

I just bought the Cult tackle one. It's absolutely tiny. Barely covers my bed hair, let alone anything else on the barrow, absolute junk. So I'm also looking for something bigger.

As has been posted before the trakker one is only slightly larger than the standard carp porter one. You want the xl car porter as the other posters have said

This sounds a great idea, better than what I was thinking. And I could use it for all sorts of activities. Link seems to be broken though.
