Was figuring out a set up driving the compact car down for a quick trip
collapsible 2 wheeler , my old cooler with rod holders on each side(6 rods) , all 2pc rods to fish , net ..... but the whiting catching & sheep head, isn't as steady as past years ..... to long of a drive for a maybe

I keep looking at down sizing my Cart now , Started with a Fish-n-Mate Co. Junior thought I needed more so sold it and got the Senior , Well now I carry way too much , I had those Yeti type coolers and they are over kill , Way to Heavy and if you need more ice I don't know of a Pier that doesn't sell it , Gaff , Net , bucket , chair , Tackle bag , and on the Piers in Panama City I take a smallish beach umbrella , As for rods I've cut way back now it's a rod for the targeted species a rod for catching bait and one rigged for throwing a jig for Tarpon or Cobia if they happen to come by .

No harm meant Bill. You've seen my cart-I'm sure he gets some chuckles at my expense. You know what he carries for gear. I generally spill more tackle than that......

Exactly. I usually get a week at a time 4 or 5 times a year if I'm lucky. The lucky locals have the luxury of coming back next week when the water clears up, warms up, cools off or whatever while I'm back at work reading on the forum about the epic bite the day I got back home. Gotta make hay when the sun shines.

It's a rod holder that locks your unused rods in place- less chance of theft that way.

Brilliant idea , Found pictures of them but also found that they are no longer made .

I can think of several designs that a person with modest skills and some basic tools could make/DIY if they were so inclined.

It's on my cart more for other piers, or bathroom visit.... pictured on the first page 2nd picture, one reason I got the sr. Model cart to accommodate the gorilla holder..... caught a closeout clearance like a few others on here when I posted the link a few years back..... you might be able to sweet talk someone out of one
For my upgraded rods and reels
