 C-Tug + Wheeleez Wheels = BLISS!

The Mullet Miller C-Tug Axle Conversion kit for Wheeleez wheels!

The Video Explains it all!!

Mullet Miller has invented the offspring between the best two carts for rolling heavy fishing kayaks over sand dirt andOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA grass and created the Mullet Cart! The spawn of the C-Tug and The Wheeleez cart has just become the best overall kayak cart ever!

Out of all of the carts I have ever used this is by far the best over all. The C-Tug is a great invention in kayak carts one by how its saddles nest the hull and with its rubber grips make the cart non skid. Two the ability to disassemble the entire cart into 6 pieces is incredible being the cart can fit into most kayak hatches. The Wheeleez well its in the name. Easy to pull with the low PSI style balloon tires it floats over soft sand instead of digging in like higher psi tires or solid plastic rubber tires.  Combine the two and you have the best kayak cart known to any kayak angler.

This past weekend on a sandy beach I left my strap at home. Loaded the Jackson Big Rig on the MMC and pulled the yak over the sand with no problems strapless!! The Big Rig weighs 98 lbs with the seat and no gear. With the gear and the Torqeedo the total weight probably around 150 lbs. The Cart is easy to break down into 6 parts as its two pins for the Wheeleez tires and the standard C-Tug dis-assembly the cart can pretty much fit in any kayak hatch. The wheels can take a lot of weight but im not sure if it can take fully loaded Hobie Pro Angler weight. The Weeeleez website states payload capacity at 165 lbs. Not sure if that’s for their cart frame of for the wheels. Also stay away from sharp objects with these wheels like broken clam shells or glass.

At this point in time the conversion kits are only available from The Kayak Fishing Store.

Cost is:

C-Tug Cart $159.00 US

Wheeleez 30 cm Beach Wheels $74.99 US

Mullet Miller Axel Conversion $55.00 US

Received a new BB Angler Pro paddle for paddling the big rig. Also a new Aqua-Bound Spindrift Carbon paddle with adjustable telescoping ferrule. This paddle I am looking forward to being my main paddle this season. As I have always paddled the high angle style I am now looking for a more relaxed paddle. Hoping that I can still paddle hard against wind and tides.

As I un boxed the paddles they had a factory smell to them as that they were fabricated hours before they were shipped to me.

The Angler Pro paddle is the the Sea

angler ace ruler

Green color which matches all of my

boats and most of my gear. It also has the printed ruler on it for measuring your catch!

The shaft is carbon fiber and has a 3 position snap ferrule for a maximum feather angle of 60 degrees. The blade is fiberglass making it extremely light weight at 30 oz!

 

spindriftThe Spindrift Carbon is an all carbon paddle with foam core making it the lightest paddle Aqua-bound produces at this point in time weighing in at 24 oz. It is a low angle style of paddle making it a more relaxed stroke.

The telescoping ferrule makes it an infinite feather angle. Also this unique ferrule will extend from 235 cm to 250 cm. It now has the ability to be adjusted per type of kayak to be paddled.

 

I am pumped to be representing Bending Branches and Aqua-Bound this year and am looking forward to using these industry leading products.

lowrance FIOverall totally glad I waited for this bad boy! Like its big brother the Elite-7 this unit is just as powerful in a more compact design. The smaller design is perfect for kayaks. The screen being smaller also prolongs battery life. Here is the breakdown.

Pros:

  • Compact
  • RAM Mounts Mounting System
  • Good battery life
  • High Definition Display
  • Broadband Sonar and DSI Scanning
  • The ability to overlay the DSI image over the Sonar Image
  • Navionics Gold add on
  • All in one transducer
  • *Lowrance Transducer scupper mount Kit works on the Jackson Kayak  Big Rig

Cons:

  • Large Connecting plugs for power and transducer. Hard to wire for a kayak install. *(Updated) With West Marine 2 Wire Caps wires can be run through a 1″ hole and capped off water tight!
  • Oversized transducer. Cannot scupper mount on Jackson Cuda 14, 12, Cruise, or Big Tuna

As i stated the connecting plugs are over 1″ in diameter. I still have not found a through hull wiring pass through of this size that will be water tight. *(Updated) See Big Rig Install Here!
