Total game changer!
August 24, 2022
For years I've been lugging stuff from the truck to the beach like a dope.
Usually I would forget something or be forced to do without it just because I couldn't carry it.
Lately I've been cutting back on my trips because I'm getting old and it's been exhausting.
I don't know why I never thought about getting one of these before!
Assembly is a piece of cake.
The bait cutting setup is great.
The cart holds all the stuff I need and I don't have to worry about what to do if I have fish to bring back in addition to everything I brought with me.
It rolls easy and makes my life and fishing trips much easier.
I thought storing it would be a problem, but since my cooler and tackle bags and everything fits on it, it basically takes up the same space I already used to store it.
It's also well built, so it should outlast me.
Pros
  • Well built
  • Easy to assemble
  • Holds everything I need
  • Bait cutting setup is very convenient
  • Makes getting to your house fishing spot so much easier.
  • Easier when you want to move from one spot to another
Cons
  • You might need 2 people to get it in and out of your truck.
  • If you don't have a truck or SUV you might not be able to use it.

A must have for the surf

Picked up the FishInMate senior cart to support my need to have a cooler, umbrella, chair and gear transported across the sand at spots which are not accessible by beach buggy. The cart is incredibly light, holds a 52qt cooler and all the comforts kept in the buggy. I upgraded to Wheeleez balloon tires and she glides over sugar sand. I would buy another in a heartbeat. It doubles as a yard maintenance cart too…multi-tasking! 👍
Pros
  • Light, strong, modifiable and usable for more than surf/pier fishing.
Cons
  • None yet.

Purchased this cart from Tackle Direct after an Amazon order for a cheaper brand got cancelled on short notice before a recent trip.

I'm glad I ended up with this one. Lightweight aluminum, nice rubber (air) tires roll very well on hard surfaces.

Fish N Mate 143 Cart
November 18, 2020
It’s a very nice cart that has multiple uses for me. I can use it at home in the yard and or to cart my gear to a local fishing spots using the firmer wheels that came with the cart. I also purchased a set of Wheeleez low pressure wheels for use on sandy beaches. The two kinds of wheels make the cart dual purpose. Changing the wheels for different uses and or ground surfaces is a snap.
👍👍👍
Pros
  • Assembly was easy. The cart is light in weight so it?s easy to pickup and move in and out of vehicles etc. The wheels and accessories attach and detach with minimal effort. This cart was well designed and Fish N Mate has an assortment of accessories available as well.
Cons
  • None come to mind.

Great investment, simple and convenient.
January 26, 2015
I’m able to get everything needed for three people on this cart. I got a plano 3700 guide series tackle box and a 52qt igloo cooler and the fit is perfect. One trip from the truck, and changing locations is easy too. This is lite and the best piece of equipment I have for pier fishing.
Pros
  • Easy and convenient.
Cons
  • I did not get this sooner.
