Tackle giant Shimano has produced quality carp luggage for years but a barrow has never been available. Until now. This unique concept is unlike any other, as the barrow is designed to fit the Trench luggage from Shimano, rather than vice-versa.
The cross bars in the barrow allow the Trench carry bags and 17ltr buckets to fit perfectly, meaning a low centre of gravity for easy pushing and less chance of toppling it over, plus there is no need to bungee rope everything down! The two side wings quickly open up and provide anchor points to attach rod sleeves and holdalls on the sides of the Barrow, allowing more tackle to be added in the middle.
The huge unique feature of this Trench Barrow is the position of the bed, at the front! This radical idea again gives loads more extra space but, more importantly, when combined with the chunky wheels, makes the Trench Barrow incredibly well-balanced. Those long hauls to your favourite peg are no longer back breaking and soul destroying.
BobCo verdict
There’s no doubt that this barrow is very well designed and thought out, using space really well and keeping your kit organised and secure. We’d go as far as to say it’s one of the best on the market!
