A hand truck for fishing equipment includes various modifications providing for the removable carriage of a variety of equipment and tackle associated with the sport of fishing. The hand truck includes one or more tubes attached to the side(s) of the frame side member(s), providing for the insertion of the butt(s) or handle(s) of fishing rod(s) therein, thus keeping the center of the truck clear and precluding obstructing the user of the truck with any fishing rod(s) carried thereon. The central portion of the truck includes a hook providing support of the handle of a bait bucket or the like therefrom. The lower platform or shelf of the truck provides for the carriage of an ice chest or cooler and a tackle box thereon. Laterally disposed tiedowns are secured to the truck frame for securing such large articles to the truck. The truck provides not only for the transport of such equipment, but may also serve as a seat with back rest when the user reaches his/her desired fishing site, by removing the tackle box from the truck and using the ice chest as a seat and the truck frame as a back support.
