Best Beach Carts for Surf Fishing

1- Fish-N-Mate Junior Beach Cart

Fish N Mate carts, in my view, provide the best cost / performance ratio available. They’ve been around for a long and are a very popular aluminum beach cart choice.

The welding is excellent, and the aluminum tubing construction provides a decent mix of strength and weight.

Features:

1. Cutting Board and a Bait Basket are Included

The Fish-N-Mate comes with a cutting board that slips into one of the rod holders on either side. The bottom of the holder has a groove that keeps the board from moving around.

For cutting up bait, the board is ideal.
The cutting board has holes and slots in it for holding items like a lures, a knife, and pliers
The removable basket may also be used to store items such as additional bait when fishing.

2. Rod Holders

Five rod holders are strategically positioned around the exterior of the Fish N Mate Junior cart. To preserve your fishing rods, each rod holder features a black rubber covering on top.

These rod holders are also useful for hauling accessories such as a gaff, a net, or a beach sun parasol in addition to fishing rods.

Rod Holders Are Generous In Size And Very Sturdy

The rod holders are roughly 1.5′′ in diameter and will fit most surf fishing rods. Each rod holder is securely welded to the cart’s basket.

3. Easy Assembly

These carts are a breeze to put together. Just remember not to overtighten the u-bolts since doing so might bend the aluminum frame.

4. Stands That Can Be Adjusted

The cart includes an adjustable front platform that keeps the cart upright when you stop dragging it. The stand is utilized in lieu of a front wheel on the basic model. If you’re simply going to be pushing this cart through the sand, front wheels aren’t really necessary, but a model with a front wheel is also available. There is also a second stand that can be slid beneath the cart’s rear for if you want to sit on the back of the cart.

6. Numerous Wheel Choices

Depending on your demands, you can choose from variety of wheel combinations. All of the choices are high quality. Which choice you pick will only be determined by your requirements.
These carts are available with different wheel combinations. You must choose the option that best meets both your demands and your budget from the list below.

The Most Economical: Black Rubber Tires

The black rubber tires are good if you’re intending to use your cart mostly as a pier cart or on hard packed sand. This is the most affordable and widely available wheel configuration. Rubber tires are also very long-lasting, and tough.
Pros- Inexpensive, tough, long lasting, and widely available
Cons- Black rubber tires don’t do well on soft sand. They bog down, and that will ruin your day.

For Soft Sand: Orange Poly Tires

If you’re on a budget and want to use your cart mostly for beach fishing, and sometimes encounter soft sand, orange poly tires are a good choice. They are an excellent choice for soft sand performance with an inexpensive price.
Orange Poly Tires are an available option on both the Fish n Mate Junior, and Senior models.

Pros- Great on sand. The price is reasonable.

Cons- They cost more and are less durable than black rubber tires.

For Ultimate Performance: Purchase the Black Tires First, Then Upgrade to Wheeleez Tires

Wheeleez tires are awesome, They glide right over just about any terrain.

Pros- Super high performance on all terrain.

Cons- Very Expensive.
