THE NEXT GENERATION
After more than three years of design, engineering and testing, we introduced the ARC to the fishing industry at ICAST 2025. Since then, it’s been recognized by Flylords, House of Fly, and many others—and put to work by anglers carrying everything from baitcasters and spinning rods to surf, spey and fly rods.
Baitcasting, spinning, centerpin, surf, spey, fly and more. One carrier designed around the way you actually fish.
Continuous adjustment from 6'6" to 10' lets you dial in the carrier length for the rods you bring.
We manufacture rod carrier components in-house, perform light manufacturing duties and assemble every ARC right here in Helena, MT.

The ARC is absolutely phenomenal and thing of beauty!
ARC = Adjustable Rod Carrier but it also could mean ARC = Amazing, Robust, Confident
With all new mounting system, my confidence is through the roof for the security and quietness of the entire system.
I've had up to 4 fly rods in my ARC so far and had plenty of room to spare!
If you're in the Upstate of SC or WNC let me know if you would like to check the ARC out, I'll be happy to show you all the features and the design features!
If you care about your rods and reels, this is one of the best ways to protect your investments. After a long time researching different ways to carry my rods, I stumbled across the ARC rod carrier and immediately thought this was the one. From its sleek design and durable quality, I am very happy going with this option. Love the fact that I can carry up to 6 rods fully rigged and immediately go fishing. It looks awesome on the Tacoma paired with the Yakima system and the universal mounts make it super easy to install and take off.
As a longtime fan and customer of Trxstle CRC Rod Carriers, the ARC has exceeded all my expectations. My ARC easily carries six fly rods including my Spey rod. The ARC is impeccably designed and rock solid on the backroads of Montana. I mounted my two CRC Rod Carriers on my skiff trailer. Will never be at a loss for fully outfitted fly rods at my disposal when I hit the rivers of Montana. Well done Trxstle!
I’ve loved being able to use the ARC for all the kinds of fishing that I like to do. For winter steelhead, I used to be able to pack a nymphing rod in my old rod carrier, but then place my baitcasting and spinning rods broken down in my car. Now, I can keep all my rods up top in the ARC and keep my cabin clean and organized. When I get to the river, I already have my rods rigged so I don’t have to spend an extra 20 minutes wasting time. I highly recommend the ARC to anyone that wants to maximize time on the water and enjoys fishing multiple techniques.
Finally a rod holder that holds all my rods. I’ve had a lifetime love affair with all types of fishing. Baitcasting for muskies, jigging for walleye, spinning for smallies, and of course fly fishing for trout. This rod carrier is built like a tank, so all my rods are protected. Equally important, they are ready to go when I park my vehicle. No more messing with tangled lines or assembling poles. All the locking features give me peace of mind when I leave my truck in a remote parking lot. How did I live without this? I highly recommend it.
I've used Trxstle's CRC Systems for years and was thrilled when they came out with something that could accommodate more than just fly rods. I can throw all three of my kids spinning rods on one side and my wife and I's rods on the other and leave them up there for quick and easy access. Mounting the ARC is more involved than than with the lighter CRC System, but once it's on your rack it's rock solid. Being able to telescope the carrier while mounted is also a nice upgrade. Looking forward to using this on all our trips this summer.
Just got my new ARC and its by far the best rod carrier I've ever seen! I've had some other brands for my fly rods in the past and this product is clearly built way better. Currently I'm using it for my fly rods, but plan to use it for my daughters spinning rods when needed as well. Thanks for a great product Trxstle!
Gas struts deliver a controlled, assisted opening that holds the reel compartment hatch in place—so it stays open while you grab gear, even in wind. Integrated grip points make closing smooth and deliberate. The push-button, lockable latch is built for secure, all-weather operation.
Easily adjust the forward section of the ARC System between 6'6" and 10' capcity with the included hex key. If you have rods that are longer than 10' the extra large rod liner storage tubes have more than enough space to fit multiple broken down rods.
The ARC System mounts to your crossbars or rack using our universal locking mounts—constructed from stainless steel with a black electrochemical finish and overmolded rubber at all contact points. They lock securely with a key and reinforced metal plates, while standard 13mm hardware keeps installation simple.
Full-length T-slot tracks on the top, bottom, and sides allow mounting above or below the unit, giving you complete flexibility. The entire system is intentionally overbuilt—strong, secure, and ready for real-world use.
The reel compartment and adjustable dividers feature a soft, rubberized finish to protect your rods and reels from wear. An integrated bungee retention system keeps everything securely in place, preventing movement during transport.
Holds up to 6 fully rigged rods & reels (varies by size & style). Dual tubes are sized to carry multiple rods per side, maximizing capacity without crowding. The 3.3" diameter liner openings provide generous clearance for all rod types and pair with our Silicone Rod Keepers to keep rods separated, organized, and protected inside the tubes.
Included adjustable dividers let you dial in your reel compartment layout. Integrated bungee retention on each divider keeps reels and rods separated, organized, and secure during transport. Each divider installs or removes easily using the included hex key.
