Prestige Carp Porter MK2 Fatboy Barrow
When you’re looking to invest in a top quality barrow for all your angling needs there is only one brand that you ever need to turn to. Prestige has dominated the barrow industry ever since it first began manufacturing the Carp Porter barrow, over a quarter of a century ago, and with good reason, too! Carp Porter barrows continue to be the best performing barrow on the market. Durable, compact, and practical, the Carp Porter series from Prestige goes from strength to strength and the brand constantly strives to produce better and enhanced versions of their top selling products in order to respond to and pre-empt the needs of the angler on the bank. This Mk2 Carp Porter from Prestige is the FatBoy version of the original best-selling barrow. FatBoy doesn’t only refer to the improved capacity of the barrow, but it is a good place to start. With a maximum width of 91cm and a maximum length of 110cm (when side and front bars are fully extended), this Mk2 FatBoy Carp Porter is perfect for the angler with a lot of gear who likes to be completely prepared on the bank. This means you can pack on your bivvy, bedchair, rod holdall, and all the bait and tackle accessories that you need for a long session at the water’s edge.
Carp Porter is famous among the angling world for its stability and reliability. This FatBoy Barrow is no different, especially because of its especially widened wheel. This is the second aspect of the barrow which gives it its FatBoy name and the wheel of this barrow is wider to ensure greater stability over uneven terrain. The wheel on the barrow is central, too. This means that when the barrow is loaded correctly it is self-balancing, so you only have to put in minimal exertion in order get the barrow, and all your kit, down to the bank. The wheel isn’t the only stabilising feature that the barrow benefits from, however, and it also features a crossbar handle to completely stabilise the barrow when in motion. The Prestige Carp Porter MK2 FatBoy comes supplied with a deluxe bag, which has a built in lid. This hangs below the barrow and is ideal for storing all your heavy kit – including water and bait. This ensures that the barrow has a low centre of gravity, making it easier to transport your goods and again stabilising the whole outfit.
With a deluxe ‘Y’ bar towards the back of the barrow you have somewhere to rest your rod holdall, landing net handles, and bivvy or brolly to ensure that nothing falls from your barrow when in motion. Corner locking points on the handle offer the FatBoy extra rigidity in order to hold additional weight, so you can load up this barrow with complete confidence. The Carp Porter Mk2 FatBoy also comes supplied with bungee cords so you can fully load up your barrow with as much kit as you need, without worrying that you’ll have to pause to pick up fallen gear whilst in transit. As an additional feature, this Prestige Carp Porter MK2 FatBoy folds completely flat. This means that you can pack out your boot with as much gear as you need whilst still being able to fit your barrow in neatly, too. The wheel of this barrow can even be removed, as another space saving feature.
So, whether you’re looking for a barrow that can accommodate your extra wide bed or you’re simply after a barrow that can handle all the kit you need for a long session down at the bank, the Carp Porter Mk2 FatBoy is the perfect solution for you. It comes with the classic Carp Porter guarantee, too, so you never have to worry about it malfunctioning on the bank.
