The newer ones are bigger than the original. I think about 6" longer. Gives length here but not a lot of width. That's why I use for longer rather than wider things.

I have a couple of camera tripods and scales in the one side and a MPS titanium pod (partially broken down) with alarms and a few spare bank sticks in the other side. I do find them useful.

Barrow buddies (on Facebook) make the rear "swivel wheels" for pretty much every barrow made. At £150 not exactly cheap though but they are made wider so designed to me much more stable than conventional designs.

Milky/cloudy whippings:- a "light" rub with T-cut (or any alternative will do) and then a good dab with a decent car wax. Leave 15 minutes and jobs a good un. Should last a couple of years till need to repeat.

I went to write in response the other day and could not send it so I deleted it. Truth is I've not been on here much for a number of years. I've been going through prostate cancer, bladder cancers and now lung and kidney cancers and my Staffy has been my companion, carer and became my driving force to stop moping about and get out fishing again as part of my rehabilitation. Staffs are boisterous but every time I came out of hospital she was as gentle as could be and tentatively snuggled up. (I had 7 separate operations, 3 separate courses of Chemo therapy, 8 weeks of radiation therapy, course of Hormone therapy etc, etc. and she was as gentle as could be every time I go home. She's had serious arthritis for well over a year now and for the past couple of months she's hardly able to walk 50 – 100 yards and the last time we went fishing she could hardly walk so I had to barrow her. Anyway, she was at the vets the week before last and the vet said that it “that” time to start thinking of letting her go. Staffy's don't really show pain but she is on so much medication and ha cataracts but still eats well so its very hard making that final decision but Ive come to accept that it wont be long now and I will be not only losing my fishing buddy but my winter hot water bottle as well. Even writing this is hard,

Really, it depends on why you want to buy it and what you expect it to do. I have the small Actor Bait Boat and mostly fish very busy and pressured waters so when Matt (Fish Eye) produced the winch cam I brought it so that I could see if (or rather how much) bait I was fishing on top of. It has worked a charm for that. Clarity is not always great because its dependent on how clear the water clarity is but its always clear enough to see what colour and how much bait I'm fishing over and of course I can see if my baits been mopped up.

Its a hassle carrying "yet more gear" so I dont always take it with me but if I do use it, it does what I want it to do. Cost and worth it? Only you can decide that really. I dont mind the cos because I love a gadget and I dont mind spending when I know that after I get bored and decide to sell, I will get pretty much most back of what I paid out for it.

I rejoined FAS after taking a 6-year break and they have changed massively. They are massively oversubscribed but do have some great water which has also been changed massively in order to try and accommodate such a huge membership (lots of new swims crammed in.)

But this all said membership is cheap and if you can fish mid-week or through the winter you should be able to get in on one of the better swims. Most weekends and the best are taken and there is also a rather large contingent of long stayers. All in all, its good value for the majority if that's what you ate after. No idea about the other water though.
