using a cart - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I use one very similar. It is great because it quickly breaks down and folds so it fits in the hull. Using two straps secured tightly and positioned as Jim mentions, it is very secure. This is excellent for hard ground, grass, packed sand, etc. However if you try to carry all your gear and a heavier kayak through soft sand for any distance, you are guaranteed to get a good cardio workout. No problem on the lighter kayaks. These wheels are not designed for soft sand and you end up plowing them through. I find if I lighten the load, it is doable but it kind of defeats the purpose. They have a similar setup with the balloon wheels but not quite as compact.

If you view your kayak fishing activities as a workout to help keep you healthy and don't mind onlookers laughing as you pull like a mule through soft sand, it is perfect!
