Catch-All Universal Airless Cart

Review for Catch Mode owners!

This is my fourth cart (3 companies) trying to set up a functional cart trolley for my Pelican Catch Mode 110. As owners may know, the Catch Mode series has a "tunnel" hull configuration. This means that fitting a cart to a completely loaded fishing Catch Mode is challenging to say the least.
Note: this cart has two configurations. This review is for the parallel mode and not the "cross" perpendicular mode.
First determine the distance to set the bunker bars apart to align just into the edges of the "tunnel" (it's abourt 9.5 inches if memory serves). It's best to flip over your yak to do this.
Now here is the key:
Forget using the Suspenz straps in the way the instructions state.
The reason is two-fold;
A) The design of the "straps-through-the-bars" is a big pain in the you-know-where to adjust the fastening design above the gunnels. I feel this strap/bar arrangement was designed more for perpendicular crossbar use.
B) More importantly, and crucial, is because the Catch Mode is a tunnel hull design, pulling the cart up into the hull snuggly is impossible with the through the bars straps. It won't happen, because you are pulling the bunker bars laterally "apart" left and right, and not vertically into the tunnel hull.
The answer is to attach the two straps TO THE AXLE of the cart between the bracket mounts. This way, the straps, when pulled up above the yak the cart are vertically snugged into the tunnel hull corners. IT WORKS BETTER FOR THE CATCH MODE.
I had long phone conversations, with Spuspenz customer rep, Laurie, to let her know my findings and she was a supremely helpful and listened to my findings, as well as other cart points unrelated to this discussion.

I have a perception hook angler (sound) 10.5. This cart works great for it. Much easier to go longer distances compared to the end cart I was using. I'm able to disable cart and put it in carry bag and keep it in rear cargo area of kayak. Takes a little more time to assemble / disassemble in the field than the folding ones, but the more I do it the quicker it is. Works well over bumpy field grass I use it for.

Really the best transport I found so far, light weight, compact, versatile, and thank God. It won’t rust using it on a 16 foot old town loon T160. Hopefully they make a bearing for the wheel hub to make it last longer only weak link I can find but still awesome product. I am very happy with it.

Catch-All Universal Airless Cart

Performance of my new cart has been very good, and it has been quite easy to use on both my Old Town Sportsman fishing kayak, and my solo canoe (15’9” x 29”).
My only concern was that when it arrived, certain holes were drilled out of position on one of the brackets, so it could not be assembled/used (holes on the 2nd identical bracket were correctly located). A new part was shipped in short order, which I greatly appreciated, but this is a problem that should never have occurred.
