Reels Up Design

Reels-up won't break rods/guides. Other "rod vault" style carriers will break your gear. When the reels face down, impacts and stress are transferred to the rod guides during travel, and this orientation creates snag-ups when inserting and removing the fly rod.

Built By Guides

Our manufacturing and assembly team members are all current or former fly fishing guides. We are proud to make the CRC System in Helena, MT - now available in both original silver and the new Blackout colorway.

The Most Versatile

Adjustable and telescopic for more options on how you use it, how it looks on your ride, and IF you want it on your ride full time or not. The CRC mounts at full length on any vehicle, but you can also run it at 3/4 length for your car, half length in your truck bed, or even fully collapsed to store it in your trunk.

Best In Class

We build every CRC System here in Helena, MT with USA manufactured rod liners that suspend your fly rods inside the aluminum sections with soft walled HDPE plastic mounted on our proprietary spring system. And every CRC System comes standard with installed reel padding inside the main housing. Because you bought this to protect your gear, and we take that seriously.

Fast, Easy, No Tools Mounting

Every CRC System ships with all the necessary hardware to mount it to your vehicle's rack right out of the box. Standard features include our patented, secure quick clamp mounts, full padding in the reel housing and locking access to your rods. Looking to customize your carrier further? We've got you covered with great accessory options, like reel housing lights, shoulder straps, rod boot sleeves and more!

Lifetime Warranty

Lifetime warranty and exceptional customer service. We have real people that answer our calls and emails, right here in the US.

Best fly fishing purchase

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!

CRC Standard Mount

Two of these clamps came with my rod carrier and they worked just fine. I travel primarily on rocky and washboard roads so I was concerned that at some point that one or both of the mounts might shake loose. I had another cross bar to attach a rod carrier to on my camper shell so I decided to be safe and add a third mount. The addition of the third mount really clamps down the carrier and it does not move at all. This may be overkill but it gives me piece of mind that I won't have a catastophic failure out in the middle of nowhere! I have an extra mount in the truck as well (because they are sold in pairs) in case something breaks or works loose.
Great products Trxstle!!!!!!!
