Was working on a few upgrades and repairs to the Big Rig today. Had these deck fittings from Sea-Lect Designs. I was trying to figure out a great location on the Jackson Kayaks these would work best. Well it turns out with a longer 1/4-20 screw it is adaptable to the existing handle threaded inserts without modifying the handles. This is a great place to attach paddle leashes rod leashes and fish stringers. The double loop deck loops work out great in this location if leave your rods leashed at all times. I tend to do this especially fishing saltwater where there typically is larger waves more rocking and a current.

Things you will need:

Sea-Lect Designs Deck Fitting Double Loop PArt# K736560-1 (Pack of 6)

1/4″-20x 1″ oval Head SS Screw (1) per every desired Deck Loop install

Loc-Tite Thread Locker

Instructions

Simply remove factory installed screw. Keep handle and washer at location. Using 1 Double Loop Deck Loop and 1 1/4″-20 x 1″ Screw thread screw through deck loop in center mounting hole. Dab a drop of Loc-Tite on threads. Tighten until tight. DO Not over tighten as it could cause the threaded insert to break its bond with the plastic of the hull and damage the kayak.

 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 and 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
