I also have one of these I can't fault it never ever collapses in use and can carry a ton of light gear inside it on way to swims...... ie boots waders groundsheets etc etc I love it...never folded it up since got it.. too good a barrow bag...
I think you can get models still with those on although I may be wrong there as I'm not across there whole range. but personally i have no need for a kneel pad although I guess if you have bad knees or old it would be useful and in my opinion a cover is kinda pointless on a cradle this deep as a carp would have to do the high jump to get out 🤣 but definitely needed on a standard mat. thanks for watching I'm glad the review was useful to you :) 👍
@@DiaryOfAnAverageCarpAngler I need a cover to be honest as my water only lets you take water shots for the 50plus residents would hate to lose a fish jumping out😂. I’m torn between this the trakker sanctuary and fox carp master 🤔
@@markwatkins56 if I was you I'd check out what the other lads on there are using see what's good for water shots as not all mats will do the job and keep a low enough profile in the water for pics 👍 not something iv had to do a lot other than photos from a retainer in the water.
Looks an excellent bit of kit and i agree with u 100% wychwood are really producing some excellent kit now i just recently purchased a shimano trench euro style cradle and i have to be honest some of the stitching in the bottom of the cradle round the mesh section for drainage looks very poor indeed id be amazed if it doest give me problems up the line i could return it etc but then im sitting with no cradle etc its a pain when u spend top dollar and get shoddy workmanship great review thanks for sharing cheers
My pet peev is spending top dollar and the product has clearly not been field tested properly as things like weak spots would make them self know in testing. It seams to be the bigger brands guilty of it at times to! Hope you get ut sorted bud.should of pointed out in review rest of the stitching seams bang on.

So they have removed the kneel pad and the cover. Company’s seem to go backwards. thanks great review

Struggling to decide craddle or matt. Just back into carp fishing. To many options and rules these days.
For me swapping around different lakes and rules I just went cradle as it covers almost all lake rules then and makes self takes safer in my opinion
Great review
I have one off these, a great bit off kit
Glad I'm not the only one to like it!
