Buggy Buddy
$149.99
The Buggy Buddy is the upgrade your fishing cart should’ve come with.
It ships as a complete, ready-to-install system—including a heavy-duty 24" x 1.5" aluminum stanchion and all required mounting hardware. No guesswork, no tracking down extra parts, and zero reliance on factory hardware.
Once mounted, you command over 155 sq. inches of prep deck (17.75" x 8.75")—plenty of real estate to carve up whole mullet or blue crabs without crowding your workspace when the bite turns on.
The flip-up cutting board reveals a hidden, removable bait tray that keeps your cut bait shaded and safe from diving birds. Engineered with an integrated measuring line, dedicated tool slots, a towel bar, and accessory hooks, this is a purpose-built station designed to work with you—not against you.
Built from marine-grade, UV-stabilized HDPE, 316 stainless steel, and solid brass, it is made to shrug off blistering sun, salt spray, sand, fish guts, and whatever else the surf throws at it.

PRODUCT INFO
The Ultimate Cart Upgrade
Stop struggling with flimsy factory trays. The Buggy Buddy is a professional-grade, mobile command center designed to turn your fishing cart into a high-efficiency prep station. Whether you're hitting the pier or trekking through the dunes, this station is built to handle the haul.
Complete Turnkey Setup: Ships ready to mount right out of the box. Every unit includes the Buggy Buddy prep station, a heavy-duty 24" x 1.5" aluminum stanchion, mounting screw, removable slide-in bait container, and a Mojo "No Stink, Dry Soft" fishing towel. No guessing, no tracking down extra parts, and zero reliance on factory hardware. It drops cleanly into standard 1.75" rod holders found on popular aluminum and poly carts, including the Anglers Fish-N-Mate®.
(Please note: Cart, knives, pliers, cooler, and other staging gear shown in photos are for display purposes only and are not included.)
Marine-Grade Durability: Why settle for thin plastic? The Buggy Buddy is CNC-machined from UV-stabilized, Marine Grade HDPE—the same indestructible material used on high-end center consoles.
Corrosion-Proof Components: Built for the salt. Assembled with 316 Stainless Steel fasteners and heavy-duty brass hinges that won't seize or rust.
Integrated 18" Precision Ruler: Forget fumbling for a tape measure. The deck features a built-in, engraved 18" measuring line for instant, accurate catch-and-release decisions.
Stealth Bait Storage: The flip-up cutting board conceals a removable bait tray. This keeps your bait fresh, out of the sun, and protected from hungry birds. When the day is done, the tray pops out for a 5-second cleanup.
The Ready-Rig Station: Dedicated secure slots for your pliers and knife, a built-in towel holder, and accessory hooks to keep your most-used gear exactly where you need it.
