Trxstle’s Telescopic Fly Rod Carrier: Innovation That Drives the Modern "Rod Vault"

Leading the Way in Fly Rod Carrier Innovation

When it comes to transporting your fly rods safely and efficiently, not all rod carriers are built the same. At Trxstle, we’ve spent years perfecting the design and engineering behind the industry’s most trusted rooftop fly rod carrier — one that protects your gear, saves you time, and looks right at home on your rig.

Our patented telescopic fly rod carrier system redefines convenience and performance. Designed, engineered, and tested by professional guides and anglers in Helena, Montana, every Trxstle CRC System is built for real-world use to get you to the water faster and keep our gear protected on the journey.

Telescopic Design — Compact, Adjustable, and Ready to Fish

Unlike fixed-length “rod vaults” or traditional carriers, Trxstle’s CRC System features a fully adjustable telescopic design. It mounts in four different lengths and expands with the ush of a button to fly rods up to 11'6", then collapses down to just 45 inches for compact transport and easy storage.

That versatility makes it the perfect solution for anglers who switch between vehicles — from SUVs and cars to truck bed rod carrier setups — and want a product that adapts without compromise.


Built by Anglers, Backed by Patents

At Trxstle, innovation isn’t something we borrow — it’s something we build. Our engineers and guides created features that have since become industry standards:

Reels-up design – Keeps rod guides protected and prevents damage while traveling.
Internal HDPE soft-wall liners – Cushioned protection for your rods and reels.
Quick Clamp Mounts – Our patented single-nut clamp system secures your carrier to your vehicle with unmatched simplicity.
Integrated reel padding – Always standard, never an upgrade.

We’ve seen plenty of imitation over the years — fixed-length carriers that offer add-on “extension kits,” or short versions aimed at truck beds — but while others replicate, we continue to innovate. Every Trxstle product reflects years of engineering, guide experience, and on-the-water problem-solving.


Born in the West. Fished All Over.

From day one, Trxstle has been about more than just gear. We design and manufacture equipment that lets anglers arrive rigged, ready, and protected — because time on the water is what matters most.

Our team in Helena, MT builds products we actually use — made to handle long days, rough roads, and real fishing conditions. While others follow trends, we stay focused on what works: durable, innovative, and field-tested products that make your pursuit easier.
