Hobie wheels

[SmokinBass]

Looking for some Hobie wheels for my 2014 Hobie Pro Angler

[jorluivil]

get the wheelez cart instead


yes its expensive
yes its bulky
yes it may get punctured and go flat but it's easily repairable


The hobie wheels are well built, sturdy and not to expensive but because they do not have bearings it takes some extra effort to pull the PA. I am able to breakdown my wheelez cart when necessary, I put the two wheels in the front hatch and strap down the frame behind the bait tan. I had the PA loaded with all of my gear and have had no issues pulling up any ramp.

Wheeleze is BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!

Team sewer has got its own Facebook page??? Alright guys! I'll have to check it out! Hopefully it's got some tips on catching halibut.

Yes on Wheeleez + rail kit + simple modification to fit the PA hull.

+1 wheeleez all the way...the big balloon wheels for sand. I've seen people use the smaller wheels on PA's and although it does work, the wheels will rub against the hull scratching it pretty bad.

I see this question come up all the time on our local kayak forum and somehow people always don't listen to the advice from the OGs and buy some other junk just to regret it shortly after. Don't be that guy, get the wheeleez.

I go the kayak cart "plug-in" Hobie Trax "2-30" very nice to have the big beach wheels........

Its nice, but after review, I do like that cart now??

I would get the new C-Tug Sandtrakz. Supposed to be very effective in the sand and light, can be easily stored in the hatch.

I started out with the Hobie heavy duty wheels and did the modification to keep the wheels off the hull. Work great on launch ramps and pavement, will give you a heart attack trying to pull through sand.

Got the Wheeleze scupper hole cart - works awesome across the sand, but sucks having to roll a loaded PA on it's side to get the stupid cart in!

Building a Wheeleze rail cart right now so no more scupper hole hassle...

Plus I see you like baja. You can tow your kayak with a quad or utv with the wheeliez rail cart. Wouldnt recommend it with the scupper cart, you can damage your yak. Its a good way to get around to and from the remote launch areas

What model do you have?
How do the bearings hold up?
How often do you puncture tires and how do you repair on the go? Standard plug kit?
