I have one, you can move a rod holder to the back and move the shelf to one of the sides if you are carry only 4 rods, makes it quite a bit narrower. The aluminum frame and stainless hardware are a great feature, the 13” wheels make it easy to handle larger bumps and climb stairs.
Agreed! The gorilla cart really is a nice cart for that niche market of people who don’t have a lot of room in their vehicle but want to bring a bunch of rods
Hi, I'm a subscriber of your channel and always enjoying your videos! Thanks a lot. Recently I bought 10' Daiwa FT surf rod and when I tried to cast 3oz sinker, it didn't go as far as expected, but ive been able to cast far with my other slimmer and more flexible rods with 1 to 2oz sinkers. What do u think might be the reason? 1) my casting technique? 2) sinker weight? Daiwa FT is designed to cast up to 4oz according to the seller 3) flexibility of Daiwa FT? Or other reasons?
The Pull handle is WAAAAAY to low!!!!!!!! That along with the wheels digging in will be a back breaker dragging this across the beach. Lets see you on the beach with it!
Lol I had the handle upside down for the video...as stated, with heavy gear the wheels will not perform well. Best use is for hauling rods and light gear. Was storing the cart for a buddy so figured I would review it!
i have it.. had it for over a year.. its a nice cart for pier fishing or to take to kids soccer games etc. how ever it is NOT good on the sand at all. too bad i really like it.. but im looking now to get a fishing cart like the other one.. with the balloon tires. this just does not goes on the sand... i do carry a cooler with water and ice.. then a tackle box and chair and 4 or 5 rods..

Never seen the gorilla kart before! It would be nice if the fish mate broke down too!

If you changed those wheels that think would be a game changer.
Glad you made a video on this one a friend of mine has been looking at them on amazon and there hasn’t been much else on them. Great Review Phil!!
Thanks!! Glad the video was helpful!
Great review, We’ve been looking at this and your review just helped us to decide.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for stopping by
That would make a great Pier cart. I'm upgrading this year but I haven't decided to what. Great video👍
Nice review thank you! I wish id see it perform in sand when heavy loaded
I got thin tires on my cart and i want to die when i pull it in the sand
Thanks for sharing! Just subbed!😃

Thank u!
If you really wanted looks like you could put a set of good beach wheels on that cart to upgrade the cheaper plastic ones
Absolutely!!
I make my own with aluminum utility wagon and donus tires I make pvc rod holders for 180 dollars save money make your own with the things you want
The hand,e shaft is up side down
I have this same cart. The only problem is the wheels. It needs balloon tires.
I wonder if it's possible to modify the gorilla cart and put the orange tires on it? That way you get the best of both worlds lol nice video 👍🏼👌🏼🎣
You know I bet someone smarter than me could figure it out 😂
Its doable 🛠
Can we install different wheels?
Thank you for the video, I like the Gorilla cart, I wonder if balloon tires can be fitted?
Yes but the shaft has to be lengthened to 7 inches. Balloon tires are only good in sand though.
I have a few assembly questions for my new surf cart, can you help?
Nice! Question: Can you take out the bait holder or any other part fron the Fish n Mate to make it fit in a car also? Thanks!
Handle, bait holder, and the wheels come off but rod holders are welded on
Gorilla cart 356.95 pretty much the same price for the other cart.
The Gorilla Cart is $356? It should only be like $200
Whoa! That price went up since COVID
Those wheels suck in the sand we have in the panhandle and Alabama. Thanks for the video, but no thanks.
