Seen people rig up old golf carts/caddys or whatever they are called to great effect.

gday bowl, i havent posted much on this forum so thaught id do my bit and contribute, since i dont know much about fishing i did knock up this cheap cart. i think it cost me about $20 all together from memory, it paid itself off on the first trip when we stored about 9 rods, a net and tackle for 5 people in it with minimal effort. most of it i got from the laverton market when i stopped in there, i think the trolley was about $3, the wheels were about $5 each and the hose clamps were a couple of bucks, then i went to bunnings to pick up a short length of dowel to suit the bearings of the tyres. then cut up some pvc pipe, drilled a couple of holes in the back of each one and zip tied them to the front of the cart for rods and put a cap on the bottom of one of them for nets/the top of rods so they dont fall through


i just cut off the old rear wheels and axle then clamped on the dowel and put on pneumatic tyres, i left the air pressure low so they wouldnt shake the contents of the trolley much over stones and its fairly easy to wheel it down steps/gutters and across sand.



it packs down fairly small too, easy to fit in the boot of a car



im sure people have made some really good trolleys/carts but this one does the job for me well

BCF sell purpose built ones but for about half the cost one of those poly garden carts from Bunnings would do the job nicely.

I was just gonna say hit up hornet. You've got some cracking lb carts mate. I've also seen a guy who had converted an old pram. Looked pretty smick

[Tim399]

i definitely like that seat-cart, hornet, it looks awesome :thumbsup:

I saw a pram converted with wooden planks and pipes for rod holders and even lights and switches for night time fishing.
