I wasnt able to get my cam out to get a good pic...but this is off my phone. I use 2 milk crates to put about (50-75) #1 coon traps the bigger ones you get less in. But this helps me out allot...i dont have to carry all this i just push it around. And you stack the milkcrates up if you want and strap them down. I only have two at the moment. Cadge traps can be straped on top. I also wire some traps to the upright side of the handle. and my bag is straped to the handle lower bar as well. all my stakes lay flat across the crates and i use bungie cords for straps as they are fast to get on and off. lets see what else do i put on.....em my homemade catch polls are on there... I put it togerther for the pic...so i dont have all my stuff on there, but you get the idea there... nice for some one that runs lines like i do. Oh and when im just checking i leave it empty to throw all my catches on it to haul em out....this is REALY nice when your beaver trapping

Looks like i could have potental to be a decent subistute for a pickup truck. I would almost think it would be a pain long-lining with it though? Like hayden said, it will be heavy, and a pain in snow. I think a heavy cart like that will be harder to move around then you might think? especially when your "sorta" long-lining like you said. Pulling it through corn fields might prove troublesome?
It looks like it could work...I have no idea! That is why i asked those questions above...i was hoping you could help me out!
With your experience using this set-up on your line...have you found any of my questions to be true? If i am wrong, then i would concider making and using something like that!
Thanks for the post. Let me know how it worked for you! I may look into these for the future!

If it works for you that's what counts. Course you know the bigger the wheels the eaiser it will roll. Good job.

well guys ill be trying this on my long line this year...it works for trapping without snow i know for sure...but if it can haul out a dead deer in snowm i think it will be fine in the snow hauling traps. And really in the photo i have close to 50 traps in it and it wasnt really heavy at all. the wheels on that are nice! alot better then my red flyer LOL Another thing i used to do last year was pull a sled around....it tiped over allot going across creeks thoough...had to starp it down good, which you need to do with this to. Pasadena No, the way i have that set up right there in the pic will be the first. Using the milk crates and such. cause last season i only had about 8 traps to run so...didnt need it, except for hauling dead stuff lol. Mini. It is design to shift the weight and make it easy to roll around...the weels are high and make going over stuff easy. We use these for hauling deer out ( what they are made for ) and never had any problems with them...I suppose a 200lb un gutted deer is no different then 100 traps and stakes Every tool has its purpose on a trap line...it may not work for you the way it does for me. I trap allot of 10-20 acre places and this is nice cause i can throw enough gear on it to cover those places without going back to my car. and then hauling your catches out is a slip lol Corn...not a problem...unless your going through a standing corn feild then you might make a farmer mad lol. Like i said the way you see it in the picture hasnt been tried yet in trapping season...dont get me wrong ive messed around with it allot... couldnt help myself, ive set it up many times seeing how i like it. and we ( my family) have found all kinds of uses for it... it pulls everything i have put in it... well i guess i pull everything i put in it lol it just made it easy then carrying a bunch of stuff. this is gonna be sweet for beaver trappign this year...I dont have a for wheeler ( the ultimate long liner tool ) but this thing will cut the time of hauling 2 out at a time...and save my back Just get one and try it....you will be happy! and its only $50 bucks at Sportsmanguide As far as snow...havent tried it in the snow loaded with gear...all my traps are set before snow normally lol thats the way it goes lol Ill try it in deep snow loaded this year....and see how it goes. Like i said im trying a lot of new stuff...and ill be starting a thread in a couple weeks to tell yall how this stuff is working day by day. But if your a kid trapping round your house or down the road this little get up is perfect. And its already found use for this new long liner

hmm, interesting! I was just curious, as it seemed like it could get annoying.
I doubt I will ever need one, although you never know. I could not see myself walking a long line! (100+miles a day!!) pulling one of those things for 100 miles a day setting and checking traps, well, would take a week! LOL
What would be nice for me, is some for trailer/wagon that attaches to a good bike. That way i can make it alot faster then walking, and the farthest i will be going is about 5 miles away. I can't see me walking 5 miles everyday and morning to my small "second line"
Would their be a fast convenient way to fasten that cart up to a bike? (it would have to be a good relible method, I dont want to be riding down a hill, and it happens to pop off!

mini look at the trailers (if you will) that people put behind there bikes for taking the kids with them. I have even seen two seaters that could hold a lot of gear! Just remember that the bigger the wheels the easier it will pull for you! I noticed my parents just picked one up for free from a neighbor friend for taking my son with them on bike rides. Check local garage sales as you could pick one up on the cheap i am thinking.

Lyonch....thanks! I will kep an eye out for them!!! Jerry....LMAO... Hey Nathan, I was curious. You said that your going to be long lining this year? How many miles are you going to be running on this 'long line'? Would maybe a truck be a little better of an option for long lining? LOL Just sayin'!!
