I was going back and forth on getting one for a while and finally pulled the trigger. Took it out in the first trip with the rod sleeves on and it did great. It helps me out as a YouTube content creator to move from spot to spot with a fully rigged set up instead of constantly breaking the rod down and putting it back together again. Another reason I got it is because I love supporting Montana brands as I am from there myself. It’s a great product if you like to fly fish and want to keep your rod rigged and ready to go! I’ll be doing a full video review on it in the future after a few more trips!

Excellent build quality and design. My 11'3" two-hander slides in with the reel off, and when I called to ask how to fit it in there I spoke to a great guy with good intel. No issues with storage after the trip was finished.

put these on my new Leitner platform rack for my topper. They are low profile and couldn’t be easier for my rod case on and off. Love ‘em!

Great product! I really like that it collapses down so I can store it easily when not in use. I wouldn’t change a thing.

Awesome addition to my Jeep. It makes fly fishing a little bit easier. Worth every penny.

Finally got to put my CRC Rod Carrier to the test this past weekend—and even caught a few fish! I can’t say enough about how well this carrier performed. Not having to break down my rods for every trip to and from the river was a total game-changer. Just throw on the waders and boots, pop open the case, and slide out fully rigged rods—ready to fish.

Installation the first time took a bit more effort than I expected, but overall, the setup was pretty straightforward. I’ll definitely be looking into the locking knob kit though—the “special” security nuts are a bit too special, if you know what I mean.

After looking at other brands, I kept coming back to this one for its collapsible design (perfect for my rooftop or truck bed) and the way it safely holds rods without putting stress on the guides. Plus, the fact that it’s made in the USA was a big deal for me.

If I had one suggestion for the Trxstle team: ditch the security nut and include the locking knob as a standard feature—it might save customers a few four-letter words during installation!

I finally picked up the Trxstle CRC fly rod carrier, and after putting it through some miles I can say it’s worth the hype. The thing that stood out right away is how solid it feels — not flimsy at all. It’s built like something that’s actually going to last, not like gear you’ll be replacing in a season.

Setup was way easier than I expected, and I like that it collapses down when I’m not using it. The telescoping design makes it easy to keep on the car without feeling like I’m hauling a giant piece of pipe around everywhere.

What I really like though is the peace of mind. I can keep rods rigged up, safe, and ready to go, which means more time actually fishing and less time fumbling around in parking lots stringing things together. I’ve driven it down some rough roads and at highway speeds, and my rods stayed locked in and protected the whole time.

Overall, if you fish a lot and value your rods, this thing is a game-changer.

The CRC system is an easy and fantastic way to carry fly rods while on the go. Assembly and mounting was simple and the carriers worked perfectly, even driving on hilly dirt roads with a lot of twists and turns. They kept the rain out and my rods stayed dry, which was nice, and it made bringing rods to the water very easy. I also used the rod socks, which were great and helped keep the rods tightly in the place within the CRC. I highly recommend both of these products!

Love the quality easy to use and install. Highly recommend

Wrote customer service to ask if the carrier would fit on my 2025 4Runner SR5, had a very prompt response from Morgan helping me out. He also recommended the T-slot locking kit as the 6th gen 4Runners now have T-slot racks - not something I would have noticed otherwise. Timely shipment and the installation required no additional tools. As you can see, it fit on the stock roof rack with room to spare. Haven't even used it yet but based on customer service and the obvious quality of the materials alone, it's an easy 5 stars. Thanks Trxstle!

This Rod carrier works perfect as it keeps all the pressure off the guides and reel. This is super important for my F250. With tight springs my truck ride is super bumpy. This rod carrier keeps the rod safe. The other product I had was like a washing machine. My rods would come apart inside the tube and put tremendous pressure on the guides and reel. Absolutely zero issues with this carrier. I don’t know why everyone isn’t using this product. It truly protects your expensive gear.

After a lot of research I decided to purchase the Trxstle rod holder solution. Key features that led me to this decision included inverted rod support (to protect the eyelets), an expandable package that can be used for a full-length, half-length, or broken-down transport, and an easy lock system that makes taking the rod holder on and off the vehicle easy to do. The rod holder looks very cool with the all-black color I chose. One small hiccup on my order was a slightly damaged lock assembly (nothing to do with the rod holder) and Trxstle replaced it immediately and at no cost. I highly recommend this rod holder and this company. I'll be back for more equipment soon!

This thing is sick!!!! Been waiting a year or two to pull the trigger on one of these, glad I finally did. I love the convenience of storing a fully rigged rod and never have to break them foen again. Thanks y’all!!!

The entire fly rod carrier system is an awesome design. Especially the way it collapses for storage. The custom side mounting brackets work perfectly with the Front Runner rack fully loaded with my overlanding gear.
Thanks Morgan

The T-Slot mounts are simply phenomenal and another fantastic product from the crew at Trxstle!

Recently I installed a set onto my UpTop Overland roof rack for my CRC 3.0.

I can't greer over how much more quiet this made the entire system and the mounts are some as a rock!
