I'm in need of a new beach cart for my surf fishing trips.
I have always used four wheeled garden carts that can be bought at any hardware store, ziptie pieces of PVC tube and I'm good to go. It is hard to pull through loose sand, but generally it's less than 100 yards to the firm wet sand where it rolls fairly easily, on several ocasions I've pulled it a couple miles without problems.
The big problem is that they are very heavy and since they are built from cheap steel, they rust quickly - which is why I'm in need of a new one.
For some time I have been thinking about splurging for one of the comercial surf fishing carts.
One of my concerns with the comercial carts is that they all have two wheels. Seems to me, that unless your load was perfectly balanced, you'd either be pushing down or pulling up on the handle while trying to pull the cart.
I like the fact that the comercial carts are much lighter and won't rust, but if they are not any easier to pull I could spend the extra money better elsewhere.......................Any thoughts?
And Wheeleez are not an option at this point.
