It fits the lure 11.5 like it was made for it . I usually take the cart and lure thru some rough areas . Over rock and small logs . The cart stays tight and does not move . no complaints in over 3 years .
I like the design of the cart... my new (open box) cart broke on the first use. Railblaza is sending me a new arm... but that was kinda frustrating after all the great reviews.
I have an Ascend FS12 which was discontinued and for good reason. One is that none of the kayak trolleys work with it, not even the Ascend trolley that I purchased shortly after getting the kayak. This is a sit in kayak that has a recessed hull with a spine running from end to end. I love the kayak for it's stability and storage capabilities. I tried the C-Tug trolley which still would not work on my kayak due to the shape of my hull. Then I tried reversing the pads and glory be it worked. Hope this helps other kayakers with the same issues.
Great video. I have the old version of the C-TUG and you're correct; the old style buckle was difficult to strap. At the beginning I would have my daughter help me until I found the secret to it. Only took about 20 tries, LOL! still a great product in my opinion.
Good video. Only strap was loss due to it had little bit angle on strap and when moving wheel it changed angle of strap so it made space. It need get right angle from wheel and strap.
If your kayak gets thinner to the back.. its better to push it than pull. Also it's better to latch it first then move it under the kayak with the strap going around it. Found out these things the hard way. I felt like an idiot when I finally figured these things out.
Wilderness System Cart. I've tried them all. IF you use a good cart you do not need to cinch the strap that tight. Kayak mfgrs tell you not to over tighten tie downs. Also that terrain is not a rocky as the rocky coast. That's a flat pasture looking terrain. I've tried that cart... have you tried the wilderness?
I don't think I want one if it is going to attract game wardens. :/ On a serious note it is hard finding a cart that holds up on all terrain. Was wondering how would the Ascend hold up?
Feedback on Amazon has a reviewer not liking the Sandtrakz wheels. Said it actually bogged down in the sand but did good over harder terrain. Thinking I may stay away from the Santrakz model. Anyone know how this works on a sea kayak? Looks like it'd slip off.
I have a Native Titan 12' The C-Tug is not made to carry when you load up... The C-Tug is fine if you dont load up yur kayak 1st, so off the water you have to clear your kayak before putting on the C-Tug and when you are getting on the water, you have to load up after you get to the ramp..
Skipped over the important part. Getting the damn thing under the yak. And it's not even loaded. I'd just carry that empty yak. Way easier. Load it up - that's why we're here watching this.
Checked by GW for what, dragging a kayak around in a circle?
Loving this video!! I just got C Tug and was wondering how it will hold up. Thank you!
Excuse me sir I'm going to need to see your kayak tugging license. Lol

Yeah. Did you know they have an upgraded strap kit available ow for $12? I didn't until the other day. Pretty cool they made it available.
KayakBassFishing good to know and good price. thanks
Anytime!
Thanks for a very informative and vertigo inducing video.
Thank you. 🙂 It was so helpful to see how it went in rough terrain!

Works well with my Bonifide SS127

Was wondering how would the Ascend hold up?
Keith Lapere the NuCanoe Pursuit is the same weight as the 128t. should work pretty well.
thx Chris.
How about the suspenz all terrain cart for rough terrain?
Chris,
Good test I wish I could have seen the Yak loaded up with gear then tried on that type of terrain to see how it will hold up?
It did well. Didn't film it for time sake but will next time.

Will the company offer the new strap if they have the old C-TUG?
Bill, already available. Check it out here: yakgear.com/product/c-tug-replacement-strap-kit/
Looks like a pretty solid cart! I think I am sold on one of these forsure. New friends here from Trail Trash Outdoors🤠🤙Hope to see you on the water!
Is it worth the price tag buddy? They are £119.00 with them wheels.

I need to know how it works on sand.

Solid state wheels 🤔
Yeah, way better than those old vacuum tube or digital wheels.
Jesus man. Vomit warning at the beginning please.
Aaargh....the spinning of the camera made me barf !!
