Yes, we know, not the most exciting subject. But have you ever been manhandling your gear back from the swim after a heavy day only to find that one of your wheels on your fishing trolley has decided to call it a day? We have. And we’d blanked. And it was raining. By having the kit we needed we could have made the day 33% less tedious.
Serviceability issues aside, it can sometimes make sense to have different sets of wheels depending on the ground that you are going to be traversing. Pushing thick chunky wheels along a smooth surface is probably wasted energy. Likewise trying to navigate a bog with wheels thinner than Donald Trump’s comb-over is about as easy as actually carrying the gear yourself. As a general guide Pneumatic trolley wheels give a smoother ride, but they are more prone to punctures and deflation.
There are other considerations with regards to buying spare wheels for your fishing trolley. It is a good idea to make a note of the size of the axle on your box or trolley. There is variation in the wheel bearings size.
We’ve assembled a list of some of the best spare wheels for fishing trolleys, so with luck, you won’t ever be let down:
