Barrows – Not Just For The Bivvy Boys!

If you thought a barrow was just for the kind of anglers who bivvy up beside a lake, and insist on dismantling and moving all their creature comforts whenever they're forced to move to a different swim, in order to keep up with where the fish are, then the Prestige Carp Porter Porterlite 2 might just make you think again!

Small and straightforward, with its jaunty red wheel trim giving it the look of the wheelbarrows many of us will remember fondly from childhood gardening exploits, the Porterlite is a barrow, but not as we know it. If you're heading out for a stalking session, and know that you might struggle to carry your kit for one reason or another – perhaps you have kids in tow, excited about getting out fishing, but likely to want a piggy back at some point, or you have a disability or health issue that doesn't get in the way of enjoying your sport, but does make carrying even a basic tackle kit more of a challenge than it's sensible to take on, this barrow is just what you've been looking for.

Time to take a closer look...

With the quality construction and durability anglers have come to expect from the Carp Porter name, this is no fly-by-night piece of flimsiness, guaranteed to fall apart as soon as it hits a bumpy bit of bankside. The Porterlite is Carp Porter commitment to quality, perfectly paired with a desire to create something that's just right for anglers who like their fishing to be a journey, and who prefer to follow that journey on foot.

Folded down, and ready to load into your car boot, the Porterlite comes in at just 72cm x 55cm, making it convenient for almost any angler, without compromising when it comes to loadable space. At its maximum length, the Porterlite is 110cm, with a long, adjustable front bar to make intuitive loading as easy as possible, and accommodate all the kit the roving angler is likely to need, whether you're specimen hunting across species, and needing to carry a variety of tackle and bait, or you've chosen a holiday that combines walking and fishing, following the length of the river, fishing at all points along the course.

The Carp Porter Porterlite comes with a convenient zip top bag for easy storage, while the folding rear leg ensures the barrow's stability on any terrain.

Anglers love the river-focused practicality of this nifty little barrow, while non-anglers find it a handy way to travel from festival car parks to the centre of the tent city community! If you're an angler who also likes their music festivals, you really can't get better than this multipurpose coarse fishing barrow.

Weighing just 11.5kg, it could also be a good choice for anglers who have to travel by public transport, allowing you to easily lift it on and off buses and trains, folded flat so it can be stowed out of the way, of course, and then loaded up with your rods and carryall once you're at your spot.
