Answer: thanks for your response Marla.

How does this cart compare to the big sister fish-n-mate 310 lg cart w/ 15 inch tires. what size are these tires? tube, tubeless, rubber, etc?

What are interior dimensions?

Answer: 14 1/4" wide, 34 1/8" long and 7 3/4" from top of the bed rails to the upper top rail

what is the interior size (for coolers)?

whats the dimensions

What is the inside dimension of this cart, width, height and height? My cooler width is approx 14".

Is the front wheel removable?

Answer: yes, the front wheel is removable. The square tubing that the wheel is mounted on, slides inside a larger tubing and align the holes up and slide a pin through the holes. The height can be adjusted depending on which hole you put the pin into.

Answer: Yes, u can.

Answer: Not that I know, but never tried

Does the front wheel keep the cart in place while in soft sand? I've noticed most other carts have a upside T shaped base instead so I'm a bit curious

Answer: Rolling is not an issue in loose sand. On packed sand or hard surfaces the wheel has a lock you can engage.

Answer: In sand yes, on hard pack I lock the wheel and point wheel uphill, happy with my cart

Answer: I use mine all the time in sand and on dirt, works like a champ.

How well does it work on semi-rocky paths?

Answer: It does work fine as long as the rocks are not too big as there is not much clearance from the bottom of the frame. Larger protruding rock could hit the underside. The tire wheel diameter is 12 inches and accounting for the axle, that would leave about 5 inches of clearance. We love ours. Great for hauling things to the beach. Works great on sand and hard surfaces. An inside liner would help so things do not fall out.

Answer: I bought this for my wife. She only uses it to go fishing out on the piers in our area. Has pulled it through light sand but not on rocky paths. She loves it. Sorry not much help.

Answer: It works great on rocks!

Answer: It works well depending on how much weight you load it down with.

Answer: I cannot answer this question. I use this on sandy/flat surfaces

Answer: Yes, but it rolls easier over rough areas if you pick up on the front end

can it be attached to pull behind an electric golf cart

Answer: I don't see why not. I actually use bungee cords and strap it on to the back of my GEM that is an electric car that tops out at 25 MPH.

Answer: The tires are probably sturdy enough, but there is no hitch or hookup...

Answer: It really is meant to be walked. You could rig something up, but you would need to drive slowly.

What are the measurements? I don't find them anywhere.

what is the inside dimension of this cart?

What's the cart measurements

Does anyone know if you can buy that bait basket/cutting board separately? I cannot find it anywhere.

Answer: Shortly after buying my Fish-N-Mate, I mount a Farberware 12" x 18" poly cutting board over my cutting surface using 2 #8 x 1" screws and 2 wing nuts. I've had this for several years on my pier buggy and it's easy to take off and wash. I'll have to mount another soon, depends on usage. I cover up the scape basket when I do this but I and my wife use kitchen scrape bags and a couple of large stainless bull dog document clips to hold the bag to the cutting board. Hope this helps.

What are the dimensions?

Answer: The inside demension is 14.25" x 34.25". The width outside of the tires is 27". Our truck has an 8' bed and this fits easily between the fifth-wheel hitch and the tailgate.

Answer: Not sure. I bought for my husband and he says it is the perfect size. Will go in my sm suv or in the truck. I also got the 5 gallon bucket holder. I'm also getting the liner so when I just want to go to beach I can use it too.

What size is the inside diameter of this cart?

What is the inside detentions?

Answer: 14 3/8" x 34 1/2"

Are the wheels made of plastic, steel or aluminum? Not the tires, i know they are rubber!

Answer: Wheels are a plastic material.

Answer: They are made of plastic

Answer: Plastic

Are tires inflatable? How big are tires? Does it roll well in soft sand?

Answer: The tires have a diameter of about 10 inches. They are inflatable and do roll well in soft sand. This cart was a little more expensive than other carts I looked at but I have had it for a few years now and I am very happy with my purchase.

Answer: Yes the tires are inflatable. They are 13" tires.

Answer: Are the tires plastic or rubber?

Can you add additional rod holders?

Answer: Yes you can.

The square hole was damaged. I have to get a person to open the hoke so i can insert the handle. Can i return this cart?

Answer: If you received the cart damage I would suggest, take pictures of the box, packing, and damage.

What are the internal dimensions. Is their room for a cooler and a 5 gallon bucket?

Answer: 14 3/8" x 34 1/2". I use a 5 gallon bucket which leaves room for a small cooler of about 24 inches long. Watch the corners though since each is rounded which will reduce the size of the cooler. An empty 5 gallon bucket can hang from the handle.

Answer: We fit a chair, a 5 gallon bucket aNd a couple of small coolers. Also some beach bags. We are very happy with it.

How does this cart roll in soft sand?

Answer: It rolls great! I loaded mine down with a cooler and tackle and while it rolls easier on packed sand I had no issues across the dry sand. The air filled tires are wide enough to carry the load.

Answer: This was a gift for my brother, who is an avid fisherman. He was very happy with how it rolls through sand and along the dock.

Answer: We used it on the sands in Gulf Shores.

Answer: My hudband uses it to go surf fishng all the time and is quite happy with it.

Answer: Wonderful

Does anyone know if there is an adapter for a bike hitch or has anyone modified it to tow with a bike?

Answer: I actually found the bike hitch on Amazon but it is kind of expensive for what you get. The description is "Anglers 358 Aluminum Bike Hitch for Fish-N-Mate Carts" but they are asking $84.55 for it. I think I may head to the hardware store and attempt to build the hitch myself.

Answer: I haven't seen an adapter but I was thinking of trying the same thing with my bike. The cart is strong but light weight and could easily be towed behind a bike. I am going to do some more research to see if I can find a bike hitch since that would solve a number of parking issues I have at a number of places I like to fish.

Answer: No I hand not. I don't think it can be done with out modification.

please what are the carts dimensions - will it hold a 54 qt cooler? I really would like to order one for my husband

what size tires come with the unit and how wide are the tires? How does the unit handle in beach sand? What are the interior dimensions?

Answer: The tires are about 14 inches diameter and 7 inches wide. Inside is 41” x 17 1/4” and 7 1/2” High

Answer: I don’t have access to the cart right now, but I can tell you that it does well in beach sand.

How long and how wide is it?

where can we buy wheel/tire relacement? My tires went out of rims and leaking so I cannot fix it.

Answer: Do not know where to but a new one however you might want to try an Auto repair place that sells and installs tires. Since the rim appears to be a very hard plastic maybe they can install a tube to keep it sealed assuming your old tire is not complete shot.

Answer: Try Harbor Freight and or manufacturer of the Fish-N-Mate Cart.

what are the inside dimensions?

Do you sell the rubber grumets for the rod holders on this cart

Answer: I would ask the Seller. Send them a note.

How does this cart compare to the big sister fish-n-mate 310 lg cart w/ 15 inch tires. what size are these tires? tube, tubeless, rubber, etc?

Can I add the option of the bucket holder onto this cart?

Answer: Yes. I purchased. Works great!

The bait station with basket and cutting board are included?

Answer: When I purchased, yes it was included.

Answer: Yes it is included and comes in handy. It is also easy to remove and leave at home for days that you don't plan on using any cut bait. This is a strong yet fairly light weight cart that has worked out very well for me. Keep those lines tight and good luck with the big one!

Answer: It was included with the one I purchased. Great little cart. It was a present for my wife. It is lite weight and she can handle it with no problems.

Answer: Yes

what is the axle diameter, in case I want to add sand tires? The replacement tire axle is 0.87"

Product reviews of Fish-N-Mate Junior Cart with Front Wheels

David Kelly : Love it

Great cart, easy to move around and very light weight.

Magdalena Rathbun : He liked it, plenty of room for cooler

A birthday gift to my hubby. He liked it, plenty of room for cooler, his fishing kit, and fishing rods. Made well.

Kel : Easy to use

Hold all my stuff

Kathleen Strand : Five Stars

My hubby just loves it!! Very light too!!!!

Teresa : Quality is better in person than I thought it would be

The picture does not do it justice. Quality is better in person than I thought it would be.

Amazon Customer : Five Stars

The fishing cart is light and strong. I have found other uses for it beside fishing.

Amazon Customer : If you aren't good at putting stuff together this will take more than ...

4 stars because the directions are poorly written... If you aren't good at putting stuff together this will take more than 15 mins than what other users claim it will take... other than that, the design is cool and I can't wait to use it for surf fishing!

Mike S. : Pretty nice cart

Pros = Light weight with nice wheels, well built. A little smaller than I expected with only enough room for a narrow medium sized cooler. Front wheel is o.k. with a lock on it. Pretty easy to put together with nice locking pins to disassembly quickly.
Cons = Anti-tip bar on the back is up too high and is kind of a useless addition as is the bait bucket.
My biggest complaint would be that the handle to pull it is way too low for someone tall even at its highest position and it would be nice if there was a little more cooler room. Other that that, if you are short and want a smaller cart then this is a good one.

pharmmomtn : Fishing caddy rather than a boat???

Have yet to try it out but excited to do so. All the fishing stuff fits neatly and at a nicely reduced price and delivery time. The cart was in perfect condition, no imperfections. Thanks Amazon

Emma B. : Enjoyable

Purchased this for my hubby! Practical and just what he needs to make the pier fishing easy and enjoyable!

PJ : I feel like a professional beach bum!

We didn't buy this on Amazon, we actually bought it on a Florida vacation at a high end fishing shop. We had been looking for the perfect beach cart for about a year and were leaning towards the collapsable ones that are about half the price of this. However, after asking around and observing other people on the beach with carts, we decided not to go cheap. Many of the people with the cheaper carts were unhappy with their smaller wheels and were having difficulty in the deeper sand. We are extremely happy with our purchase, this thing is awesome! Although I do wish we had purchased it on Amazon, because the price is better and this one on Amazon includes the front wheel, which we may end up buying separately.

Our biggest problem was in deciding which size to order, this medium size or the large one. We tend to like the biggest and best of everything and often regret that decision. While the bigger one would hold much more stuff, it was much heavier from the get go and would take up a lot more space in our vehicle. Being we are not that far from the beach, we decided that the medium one would work fine and we would make two trips if necessary. Boy are we glad, because with this fully loaded, its pretty heavy. It takes two people to lift it up onto the boardwalk and I just cant imagine trying to lift the large one fully loaded.

We like that this unit wont rust because its aluminum. Especially since it will be exposed to a lot of salty air and water.

Its very light weight (when not loaded with all of our beach gear).

The wheels and handles are easily removed for packing it into the SUV without taking up a lot of space. Although this last trip we just left it assembled when we packed up our Toyota 4Runner. We were able to pack things inside it and all around it without any problem.

The tires are big enough to navigate thru deep sand without getting stuck. This is true even with it fully loaded. This is huge, because we saw several people with the cheaper type from the big box sporting goods stores getting stuck in the sand.

Once we have hauled all of our stuff down to the beach, it then serves as a fishing station, holding all of our gear, giving us a nice work table, a bait basket and supporting our poles!

I would highly recommend getting the liner, it allows us to fill in the gaps between the larger items with smaller things like sunscreen, sea shells, toys, bug spray, etc.

Edited to correct extra letter.
