OK...it don't matter if you push, pull, roll, pedal, carry, drag with your belt loop or whatever it is you haul your gear in.....let's see'em all. Enjoy
Jolley, longer sand spikes. If the sand is loose I can drive them deeper. Also keep my line higher and less likely to be walked into by people walking on the beach. I've never liked the little ones you get at Bass Pro and other tackle stores.
If you are planning on pulling it on sand the wider the better. You could look for some off the front of an old lawnmower, pretty simple just need a long enough piece of round stick for your axle. I seen one once that had tires and wheels off of an ATV, made for really larger foot print but it would glide over the softest sand. An oversized cooler loaded could be a tough pull.
Here's what i threw together with a cart we already had, some 1" PVC that was left behind my house from the previous owner and a few clamps and a bucket from the hardware store.
Now to get it down to the beach and get fishing.
This Wonder Wheeler by Rio Beach has spent a week or two on the beach with my wife & I since 200(x). The Wheeleez tires replaced the OEM hard plastic wheels after a squirrel chewed holes in one. I wish the squirrel had inspired me sooner. Tipped back on those soft tires this rig floats across soft sand even while loaded with... an umbrella, chairs, tackle, rods, spikes, coolers for drinks and bait and a 5G bucket holding a 6' castnet. I bought the wheels & saved a lot of $$ making my own axle upgrade kit with common hardware store items. The soft wheels are quieter than OEM plastic ones when crossing tiled areas or wooden walks. The rig can wiggle through most doorways of the places we've rented and folds compactly. It's also a big help at checkin/checkout when other guests are hoarding the luggage trolleys.
