Make a fishing trolly

Post by dieseltojo » Sun Oct 16, 2016 3:28 pm

This will only interest a fish feeder and be a complete waste of time to most people. But I like surf fishing so cut down an elcheapo $ 25-00 trolly to do the job. I comes apart to as many bits as needed or can go into the car in one bit.
I can carry my beer, bait and I like the collapsible rods these days., They don’t get caught on branches.

These are just general pics to give you an idea. I can go int detail if required.

Shucks, now I have to make some more pics….. :)
I like this trolley as it is easy to drag, but a bit harder on loose sand etc. Great for a jetty though.

I would really like larger wheels.
You could lower the volume of beer taken but that’s not an option.

This is only what I did as an example of the idea. Not hard to improve on what I have done.
Basically a cheap trolley to be used for fishing tackle. I think these are only around the $25.00 dollar mark to buy. One day I would like to fit a larger diameter wheel for easier pulling over soft sand. But it is not too bad as it is.
The whole thing is easily separated.
The pipes are off course for fishing rods and being of 65 mm diam will hold a 50 and 40 tube as sand spikes. They are bolted in to create as least restriction as possible with countersunk heads.
I cut around 300 mm out of the top frame and inserted some sleeve tubes made from bits of half inch gal pipe as they fit nicely into the trolley tubes.
The very thin plate gall box will fit gear and my ice box is a nice fit. Better to make this out of thin Ally to keep weight down if possible. The runners on the back of the box allow it to be slid on and easily removed as is the top part of the handle.

I made the base to fit my tackle box. Just held in place with a strap.

Any way rough and read but it comes apart int small enough bits to stow easily , or chuck int the back of a ute. :)

Sorry looks like hard work dragging anything along a beach to MAYBE catch a decent fresh fish….
