The Mk2 Barrow: An Iconic Angling Essential

The Mk2 Barrow is a product that needs little introduction. Known for its reliability and practicality, it has become a staple for anglers past and present. As one of the best-selling fishing barrows to date, its instantly recognisable silhouette is beloved by the majority of the angling community. Available in both Green and DPM colourways, along with the new range of Compac Dark Kamo luggage (available separately), the Mk2 is as versatile as it is iconic, offering a customisable platform to suit every angler’s taste.

Key Features of the Mk2 Barrow

The Mk2 Barrow comes equipped with a variety of features designed to make your angling trips more convenient and efficient:

Built-In Storage Solutions

The Mk2 Barrow includes a zip-sealed centre bag with side access, providing ample storage for spares, extras, and items that aren’t immediately needed. This thoughtful design ensures that your essentials are easily accessible when required.

Secure Rod Transport

With the inclusion of the Y-Bar, your rods are securely stored on the top of the barrow. An included strap ensures your rods remain safe during transport while still being easy to access when you arrive at your chosen spot.

Designed for Effortless Transportation

The Mk2 Barrow is engineered with transportation in mind, offering a customisable load space to suit any trip:

Adjustable Loading Space

The unextended Mk2 is ideal for day sessions or ultralight overnight trips. For longer sessions or social angling, the side bars and front bar can be extended to dramatically increase loading space. This adjustment is easily done using the barrow’s simple thumbscrew system, allowing changes to be made on the fly.

Smooth and Comfortable Handling

The slimline front wheel is designed to reduce rolling resistance, while large hand grips provide exceptional comfort during use. For those needing additional stability, optional upgrades like the Fat Boy wheel and Cross Bar handles are highly recommended. For an all-in-one solution, the Mk2 Fat Boy model comes pre-equipped with these enhancements.

Customisation for any situation

The Mk2 Barrow is all about adaptability, offering a range of modifications to meet your specific needs:

Add Back Wheels

For added convenience, the Mk2 can be fitted with back wheels, similar to those on our Tri-Porter models. These are available in both large and compact sizes, such as those seen on the Mk4s and Mk8 Power Porter models.

Power Upgrades

Looking to go electric? Power kits are available to upgrade your Mk2 Barrow to include the same drivetrain featured in our popular Power Porter range. This enhancement is perfect for those who want to take the strain out of transporting heavier loads.

Compact and easy to store

When your session is over, the Mk2 Barrow is designed to be compact and easy to store:

Folding Design: The barrow can be folded flat for effortless storage.
Removable Parts: Handles and wheels can be quickly removed using the thumb screws, ensuring the barrow fits neatly into your car boot or shed.
Collapsible Bag Frame: The metal frame system of the centre bag allows it to be removed and folded flat when empty, saving even more space.

The Mk2 Trusted by Anglers Everywhere

In summary, the Mk2 Barrow is built with one purpose in mind: to simplify the transportation of your gear to the bankside. Free from unnecessary frills or gimmicks, the Mk2 has stood the test of time by focusing on practical features that make the most dreaded part of fishing—setup and pack-down—as effortless as possible. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or just starting out, the Mk2 Barrow is a trusted companion that delivers reliability and convenience, every time.
