For anglers who need to carry more than two rods at a time, we offer a built-to-order 2 pack of key matched CRC Systems to accommodate up to 4 rods. Two individual units give you the versatility to mount them side by side, in separate locations, or even on two separate vehicles. The industry's fastest mounting system makes setup and break down a breeze.

Trxstle's original fly rod carrier roof rack system provides secure and convenient storage for your fully rigged fly rods with unsurpassed fly fishing gear protection. Keep your fly fishing rods rigged and ready to fish or quickly take the rod carrier down and collapse it into a portable fishing rod case in just minutes with the fastest and easiest to use mounting system on the market.

The CRC System is the only telescopic fishing rod carrier on the market, and securely mounts to cars, trucks, and any vehicle with a factory or aftermarket roof rack.

With adjustable mounting lengths, pre-installed complete reel padding, and patented suspension rod liners, the convertible rod carry system is the most versatile rod carrier with the best fly fishing equipment protection available.

    telescopic

    The CRC System extends from just 44" out to a 10'4" total length quickly, easily, and without any tools. It mounts in any of its four lengths so you can use the product how you want, when you want. At just 15 lbs. you can take the rod carrier with you anywhere and easily mount it on any vehicle in seconds.

    reels-up

    The CRC System is designed with the reels of your fly rods facing up. This protects the fragile guides from carrying the weight of your rod. This orientation also allows us to incorporate our cork cradle rod support, ensuring the weight of your rod and reel is fully supported and not cantilevered out in space, potentially damaging your gear.

    reels-up

    Designed to transport your rods with the reels facing up - The CRC System protects the rod guides from carrying the weight of your rod and eliminates any snags when inserting and removing your gear. This also means low profile mounting, an aerodynamic and quiet ride, and excellent vehicle hatch clearance.

    Safeguard

    Equipped with our patented soft-wall suspension mounted rod liners for premium rod protection and standard reel padding pre-installed to protect your reels. Each CRC System is built by professional fishing guides right here in Helena, MT. We know the demands you place on your equipment, and we've got your back!

    Excellent product

    I appreciate the convenience of not having to rig fly rods each time after getting to the destination. With the interior of my SUV being not long enough to accommodate a 9 foot rod the carrier is a perfect solution.

    I have it permanently mounted on the roof rack of my SUV. So far I have made four fishing trips, travelled with it for about 1,200km. Initially, I had reservations as to how it would perform on the open road and off-road while fully extended. Actually, no dramas at all. The carrier does flex a little bit while driving but there are no rattles, squeaks or wind noise. It feels structurally sturdy and secure. When the carrier is empty and not in use the last section could be partially shortened, however, perhaps, unnecessary.

    The vault tubes inside are made of hard plastic and are not lined so care is needed when inserting the rod so that the guides do not get impacted. On the other hand, nothing can get snagged inside.

    The aluminum casing naturally reflects the sun heat and stays cool, which is good. However, the reel box is made of black plastic and is susceptible to picking up the solar heat. For this reason, I usually do not store the rods in the carrier for longer than necessary. I will see how well it survives the New Zealand sun. The interior of the carrier remained totally dry after driving through rain.

    Overall, the carrier is well designed and built, light. I love the way it looks too.

    Lastly, I would like to acknowledge excellent customer service in getting additional documentation for the Customs clearance at the border.

    Amazing Design

    When looking for rod transportation solutions, you shouldn’t look past the CRC. From completely collapsed, all the way to fully extended it really does meet the needs of basically every situation. You also have the added relief knowing your rods are secure with the ability to lock them up! Don’t spend the time rigging up before and breaking down after each time you hit the water, look into this system and you’ll be glad you did.
