What would help solve this problem? Have you ever been injured? Would an all in one cart be a good idea to carry your gear?
Answer 1:
Actually a cart is a great idea and back saver. I have been been there and believe me, a cart will save you time, troubles and back aches. Lately I have been using one of those Garden carts you can pick one up inexpensively.
These carts are easily modified to hold your fishing and camping gear…mine has rod holders all over it. Just remember to put the heavy stuff (ice chest etc) in the middle of the cart for balance.
Another type of fishing cart I have seen is used alot by pier fishermen and bridge fishermen. They use the lower half of a shopping cart. They have been able to customize these things with rod holders, ice chests and even takle storage.
The main problem with all carts is where to stick ‘em in your car. Other than that, I highly reccomend using a cart for all your fishing and camping needs. It makes things alot easier.
Answer 2:
I used to but not anymore, i don’t fish so much for bass etc and have to carry numerous spare bait-cast reels, line, rigs, lures etc, now i fly fish 99% of the time, even though im not new to fly fishing it still amazes me how much i can get in my fly vest and bag, i take only two things to store my gear in firstly my fishpond cloud burst bag, it goes every where with me, even when im traveling and not fly fishing, it has my waterproofs, my wading boots, wading staff, rio tippets, airflo tippets, tapered leaders, spare hemostat, orvis zingers and 3 fly boxes. If i really want to travel light then all i take is my fly vest, and my neck lanyard from orvis, once again fishpond is my choice of fly vest, they have been more comfortable than simms which i returned becuase i didnt like its weight distribution, in that i have my fly boxes, hemostat, nippers, six spools of tippets, 5 ready made tapered leaders, 6 home made tapered leaders, more spare flies in the zip down fly bench, scoop net and wading staff, all that fits in my fly vest and bag and means i dont have to make loads of trips to get the gear. By travelling light with just my waders, a fly vest and a spare spool of tippet and floatant i can cover more area of the river and catch more fish.
