Thread: Best pier cart alternative?

Keep an eye on cabelas, academy or basspro. It's getting close to the time of year when they clearance fishing gear out. I got my cart from cabelas when they had it on clearance plus I had a $20 off coupon. It was a steal.

My jr cart went quick on here last spring.....always look here,pensacola fishing forum, or craigs list.....I got my new 310 sr. Cart off craig's list local (ohio).....if you are intergentic you can find some deals out there.....I have seen a couple at local flea markets here too, but too late when I saw them (already bought)not that I would have they were smaller then the jr. Cart I owned at the time
Good looking.....part of the fun of pier fishing.......for me anyway

Don't forget yard sales , But that depends on the area , I've seen them on the Atlanta craigslist from time to time when I'm looking for something else,

Fshntime has them on here once in awhile at a resonable price......you might already have somting around the house that might work.....use your imagination

There are pictures here of several wheeled cooler/pier carts, mine included. I've done some cheap mods to mine (including oversized lawnmower wheels) it pulls easily clears bumps with no trouble and has lasted 2 years so far with no signs of wear.- and it easily fits in the back seat of a Honda civic...

I've used the same small hand truck with a rod rack attached since 1992! Will try to find a pick tomorrow.

I used a convertible hand truck like the one in the link below forever (I think my brother is still using it). It can be used upright as pictured or the handle can be inserted the other way and be used as a 4-wheeled cart

My inlaws got me one of the folding carts with the nylon "bed" for Christmas last year. I knew it wouldn't hold up for what I wanted to use it for (daughter's travel softball and as a pier cart) so I exchanged it for one of the steel mesh utility carts at Academy. Add some PVC pipe for rod holders and you're set. My only regret is that I didn't get the bigger cart

I've even seen people using children's Red Flyer wagons as pier carts

You can use all types carts , Your only limited by your imagination and more important , $$$$ Thats what my wife said

My dad had this hand truck made in 1943, I've been using it as a pier cart since 1972...


Even the original wheels!

I used this old wheelchair for a couple years. Worked great!
