I still haven't figured out how to keep the front and back from curling up without riviting it to the rails of the cart. I'm also thinking about wrapping it around the side rails.

The dually cart is mine. It is a major improvement over a single set of tires in sand, but still is not what I would call perfect for surf fishing. The plastic balloon tires make a long sandy trek more bearable, but it serves its purpose for now. I am sure that many of you are constantly tinkering/improving/completely ruining your setups looking for the perfect combo (like me). I am currently looking at adding dual tires to the front also and who knows what else.....

I might take that dually idea into consideration, looks cool, boy I can see it now! dually carts line up at J&M!

I read a post awhile back on a method of locking rods and gear to a pier cart, but can't seem to find it now. Will someone please post some pics or comments on your locking system?

I have a custom roof rack on my truck with rod locking system. Pm me your number I'll text it to you. Maybe you can post it for me. Too lazy to open an account on photobucket.

Thanks Sammy! Sent you a PM.

[size=12pt]I now have it fixed to hold 12 rods, (2 GRANDSONS) and 8 of them are in a straight line, so I've added two 36 inch dowel rods with eye bolts and Locks at each end to attempt to stop some one from casually walking by and taking a rod and reel, or taking them outa the back of the truck if I stop at a store for a few minutes.

Its possible to lift the wooden rods enuff to get the rods outa the pvc pipes and take all 8 at a time.... BUT.... he would have to have balls to walk off with that arm full, and brains to have thought of doing that way.... BUT I have it tied down with 40# seven strand for now. Any other ideas... a bike cable lock would work also. May add that for going into the store on the way to the pier.[/size]
