Sumo Suction Rod Carrier for Cars and Boats

Some of the best money I ever spent. The suction cups work great as long as the surface is dry. Early morning dew should be wiped off completely before attaching to your car. These are ideal for anyone who owns a sedan or coupe and can't fit their rigs inside the cabin. Travelling 60+ MPH on winding roads, I had complete peace of mind and was never worried about my rig's safety. Great product, awesome solution to a bad problem.Only knock I would give it is it doesn't feel all that durable. I don't know if it's ABS plastic or not but if it is, it would be reassuring to know. That said, I don't baby gear and it's they've been holding up just fine.

A quick and easy rod mount for vehicles that don't have roof racks. I like that I can move from spot to spot without breaking down my fly rod.

Everytime I stop somewhere someone asks me about it. Driven over 500 miles with it and never had an issue.

I just spent a week carrying 4-5 rods down logging roads in ME/NE and these mounts did not budge! They kept the rods secure and protected.I would check the knobs periodically to make sure they were still secure and they barely needed any adjusting.These are great when jumping between fishing holes and I only see myself using them 2-3 times a year. However, not having to break down our 10’ 6” euro fly rods every time we move spots made the $125 well worth it!I’m so glad I bought these and would highly recommend them.

Used it with 14 foot Spey rod and fish multiple runs. The rod holder was excellent, easy to use, quickly attached to car and felt very secure with rod while traveling. Best purchase I’ve made with regard to steelhead fishing for as long time. Highly recommend the sumo rod carrier to those who don’t want to waste time, safety of quality fly rods, and wish to spend time on water!

Month 6 review. Wash the cups before using to get the oil off and ensure car surface is clean. These stayed on for seven days straight and held six fly rods at 60 mph plus. The holders need supported when stretching the elastic some times. Well worth the money especially with aluminum bodies vehicles.

I accidentally got the suction model rather than the magnet model as I was suspicious of suction cups. I didn't have time to exchange them before the trip so I gave them a try. At first I thought I'd made a mistake because when I put them on the car they did not maintain their grip. But the car was dusty so I washed the cups on the unit and the surface of the car where they would attach. From that point on we used them for a week with three rods and speeds up to 60 mph on windy and hilly back roads in the Ozarks. They stayed on and caused no trouble. I'm happy I bought them and now even happy to have the non-magnet version since these will work on glass in case I ever need to use them on a different vehicle.

Skeptical at first since I had a road trip coming up that consisted of mainly highway speeds. On the way down I placed on the rods no reels (3 total) and after about 200miles at 75mph. Darn thing didn't go anywhere. Felt lazy on the way back up and kept the reels on thus time. The rod holder? Solid as a rock. I would say any reel larger than 5000 would maybe have trouble fitting.
