To any saltwater angler, or even freshwater angler, that fishes from shore or from docks or piers. I am looking for a cart or small carriage that I can mount rod holders on, and that is big enough to carry my fishing gear and or tackle boxes along with a cooler. Due to health reasons, I can no longer carry by hand all my gear at one time, and need to lighten the load on my feet by transfering my gear to a cart of some kind. Any help in locating one, or info on where I can purchase one would be greatly appreciated. Leave message here, or e-mail me at : Tcbo7@cs.com. Being a Kidney Dialysis patient leaves me without the strength to carry everything I need anymore, so any help or ideas would be a real help. Thanks to anyone who responds, and tight lines and good fishing to you all !!! Paul, the Striper-Maine-iac in Maine ! "Striper Maine-iac"

Saw a guy once who converted a large red wagon. He had attached some wood sides and added rod holders, and his cooler and tackle box were in it too. The cooler also has his chair while in the wagon. Looked like one of the large ones I used to ride as a kid down hills. Gamakatsu <*(((>{ Knowledge is power, pass it on.

JollyRogerTcbo1, I have spent countless hours on the saltwater piers. I have looked at and studyed many differant tagalong gear ( contraptions ) for a lack of better words. I saw the red wagon the most often. Some had sideboards to carry more gear than an angler could use in a month of nonstop fishing and others only had the esentials for the day. I saw one that I liked the most. It was not a wagon but a two wheeled cart. I'm not shure where to find them other than from someone that has one. If you have seen the carts used by the elderly on a shopping trip downtown, you know what cart I am talking about. It folds up for easy storage. The one I saw held all the esentials for a full day of fishing. On each side some 1 1/2"X6-8" pcv pipe was mounted with hose clamps. They wher mounted at an angle pointing away from the handle and alowed poles to stand strait up when pulling the cart.The pipes had notches cut in them that alowed the base of the reels to fit in to and kept the poles stable during travel. They are alot lighter than the red wagon but still hold all the needed gear. It also had two hooks on the front that held a folding chair. I hope this will help you out.[ Smile

JR what about a back pack tackle bag is that of any use? Also has two rod holders built in on each side. MY mate Jeff Jost makes the Albackore Bag I am describing above and it works very well. Also has a small coller in it as well. If it suits then give me a yell and I can give you his e-mail address. Burnin Thumbs!
