    Just back from my FB Market Place bargain hunt, got a very nice chair for waggler fishingand general day ticket stuff.

    Also grabbed a Carp Porter same again never used paid 90 f9r the barrow but need a bit of help figuring out which model carp porter it is, not a mk2 as it doesn't take the drop in bag on a frame, don't mind that, the side bars are smaller than the mk2 at 50cm the mk2 is 68cm so the side bags for the MK2 won't fir tight, they do a evo range that look smaller for side bags but no size stated, just which model porter they fit, advice would be welcome.

     

    Also the front bar bag my front bar is 49cm wide call it 50cm would anyone know the size of the mk2 front bar or the bag that fits seems to be same across the whole range.

    Few pics someone must know the model?

    I had to get a few parts that were nicked from my garage, after trolling the web, I just went direct to Carp porter.

    They're very helpful.

    Part of the Korda family from what I can gather.

    Posted

    I've tended to go middle of the road price wise.

    Currently using,

    Rod -free spirit Helical (13ft for my old reservoir ticket)

    Reels -Shimano 10000 xtr baitrunners (going strong after 11 years)

    Alarms- ATT's with deluxe receiver 

    Line -Gardner Hydrotuff 18lb (for very snaggy res)

    Bivvy - JRC 2 man 2 skin (nearly good as new after 11 years)

    Hooklink -Rigmarole hydro link or flurocarbon.

    Hooks -Korda Krank, Kurv, chod & wide gape, in all sizes from 8-2. OMC Lock in 4, seems OK but not had them long. 

    Barrow - Carp porter mk2

    Bedchair - Lidsters xl. Not long had it, but seems well built. Had a few cheap ones, which are a waste of money. Nash indulgence gave up after about 3 years. I'm on the large side though.

    Scales -Ruben Heaton

    Sling and stink bag -Shimano

    Net- Sonik 2 piece. Handy for stalking. Had this a few years now, it's out lasted Trakker, Greys & JRC ones.

    There is loads to choose from different manufacturers, all pretty similar in their offerings & price range, it can be confusing. I try to keep everything simple....

    A good tackle shop should set you up with reasonable kit if you tell them what kind of waters you're on

     

    Good luck

    rig marole

    Amazing stuff, pull to straighten.

    It's the only hooking I use.

    I found Mouthtrap to be a bit springy/wirey and sometimes came back not straight, so needed to be steamed. I only used a few times before I found the one above.
