Fox Royale Carp Barrow Review Front-runner... Meet the Fox Royale Carp Barrow – the budget-priced barrow which punches well above its just-over-a-hundred-pound price tag.

Over the last few years the Carp Barrow market has been rife with competition, with all manner of different barrows hitting the angling shops up and down the country, BUT what was already a competitive market, has just got that little bit more competitive!

That’s right, there’s a new kid waiting at the factory gate. An eye-catching, pneumatic wheel (with wheel bearings) version that sells itself on its simplicity.

Thanks to being based on a tried and trusted design, it means the new Royale is by far and away one of the most impressive budget-priced barrows in barrows history. A tackle carrier, that even if loaded incorrectly will have anglers pushing previously unimaginable amounts of kit with sheer pleasure all over these green and pleasant lands. Aside from having a brilliant design, the frame itself is pretty handy too thanks to be constructed from high tensile steel. Throw in folding support legs and an adjustable load length and this barrow that can-hold-almost-anything packs down pretty small to fit inside the smallest of car boots.

To ensure nothing shifts whilst you’re on the move, Fox have fitted looped strap fixings (for use with Fox Universal Barrow Straps) all around it, and at the rear they’ve added wide mud feet which feature studs for extra stability and grip.

Large, easy-grip thumbscrews laugh all over standard locking bolts which can be a nightmare to tighten/loosen. It also has a rapid fit and removable wheel system and because of its positioning and shape and length of the handles (which are ergonomically sculpted) it means there’s minimal loading stress and maximum barrowing ease. For just over a hundred quid you wouldn’t really expect to get many more bells and whistles, but this is Fox – in 2013 – they now give you better build quality and more extras, such as the FREE Under Barrow Bag which is perfect for storing any loose items.

Looking to drop some money on a barrow which will last and deliver results? Then serious stop looking: it’s right in front of you.

EXTRA SPACE It's like a people-carrier minus the engine and the free under barrow bag optimises storage capacity brilliantly!

KEEP MOVING The unique wheel assembly, for rapid fit/removal makes setting up and packing away a dodlle, whilst the extra large, slim line wheel makes for an easy drive through muddy terrain.

SUPPORTIVE The supporting leg has been carefull calculated to clear the ground and is foldable for compact storage. Genius.
