Bending Branches Angler Ace and Cart for XFactor Questions/Misc Rigging Thoughts - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I bought a Bending branches "Slice" when I had a Pro Explorer. I still have that and I used my R.E.I rebate + 20% off special to buy a Werner "Lil Dipper" bent shaft early this year.
Since I have a HOBIE I can't address your problem with a set of cart wheels. I still have the same cart wheels left over from my Pro Explorer which I like for rocky beaches but the New Big Wheels scupper mounts can't be beat for soft sand!
This is just me. I use a "Rod Wrap" that I use when I'm on party boats to keep my rods together. I slide the bottom end of the rods under a bungee cargo net (I found on eBay for ATV'S and motorcycles) and wrap the tips under the oar bungee (On my Outback) since I'm

at those times.
Since I carry 4 or more rods, the reel handles should catch in the bungee net should I take a spill!

I keep my Fly rods broken down and in the front hatch of my HOBIE.
I don't know if any of this will help you but I thought I'd put it out there.
