Product Information

Description

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.

Designed, engineered and made by professional fishing guides in Helena, MT, this is not your average "rod vault". This fly rod case is equipped with our patented, protective, no-snag, reel-up design. 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.

Quick FAQ's
Q: What's new in v3.0?
A: v3.0 of the CRC System incorporates a completely redesigned main housing and door seal, incorporating the finger pull into the lid. We've also added new colors, improved joint stiffness, and upgraded hardware materials for better performance in salt environments.

Q: Can I mount this upside down?
A: The CRC System is not designed to be mounted upside down as this eliminates the benefits of the Reels-Up design.

Q: How long does it take to install?
A: The CRC System installs in just a few minutes. It's the fastest installation available on the market today.

Q: Does it lock?
A: Yes, the reel compartment has a push button, locking latch and the mounting clamps use custom security nuts or our optional Lock Body Clamp Kit upgrade.

Q: How long of a fly rod will it hold?
A: 10'4"

Q: How big of a reel will it hold?
A: Up to a 4.5" arbor diameter.

Q: What size (weight) rod will it fit?
A: Measure your largest stripping guide on your rod. The CRC System has a 1.6" diameter (40mm) opening (largest fly rod carrier opening on the market). Usually rods over 8wt require measuring to ensure fit.

Q: What if I want to carry more than 2 rods?
A: We have a 2-pack available for that!

Q: Can I take the CRC System through a car wash?
A: NO. Do not bring your CRC System through automated car wash systems. As with most roof racks and rack accessories, the mechanical elements of the car wash can become entangled and damage your CRC System, your vehicle, and the carwash itself.

Convenience is King

I was never a rod carrier guy previously but when I had the opportunity to try one of my friend’s carriers, there was no going back to putting my high end fly rods in the back of my car with my chaotic dogs who have a habit of breaking rods. I live a mile from the river and the convenience of having my rods rigged and ready to go in my CRC carrier all the time makes lunchtime fishing sessions that much easier. Easy installation and operation. Overall, super happy with my purchase and looking forward to using it more this season!

Great when fishing and when staying home to watch football!

The fly rod carrier was easy to add to the rack on our Subaru. The adjustable nature of the rod holder makes storage when not fishing so easy! Super great!

Introducing: T-Slot Mounts

Take advantage of your T-slot equipped rack crossbars with our new T-slot Mounts. Quickly and easily mount your CRC System with this locking, all metal mounting system.

Need a Longer Rod Carrier?

We've go you covered. Introducing the new Euro Fly Rod edition of the CRC System v3.0, with 11'6" rod length capacity.

Redesigned Housing & Hatch

The main housing has been overhauled with a new and improved 360° double baffle seal, and rigid, reinforced hatch opening that provides even greater security and strength.

New Metal - New Colors

We invested in all new extrusion tooling and upgraded the aluminum telescopic sections of CRC v3.0 to be more rigid and have a tighter fit. This is also the first time we will be offering the CRC System in the new blackout colorway. Both the silver and black versions feature Mil-Spec hard anodized finishes.

Integrated Hatch Handle

The redesigned hatch also includes a reinforced, integral finger pull. This upgrade eliminates the need for secondary parts and allows for easy, one handed operation. We also designed this feature to boost security by providing additional reinforcement to the latch area.

Best In Class Rod & Reel Protection

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.

Top Shelf Hardware

A product is only as good as the nuts and bolts that make it whole. We've used the best grades of stainless steel and weather resistant materials throughout the CRC System, including upgraded hatch springs for a snappy feel and a polished finish on the telescopic stop buttons.

Everything You Need

Every CRC System ships with all 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 available like reel housing lights, shoulder straps, rod boot sleeves and more!

How It Opens

Extending the CRC System to its four different mounting lengths is fast and easy.

How It Closes

Collapsing the CRC System is just as easy as extending it and requires no tools.

Mounting Hardware

We call the CRC System mounting hardware quick clamps. You don't need tools, a team of people, or your entire afternoon to mount our fly rod carrier. Secure mounting is just seconds away.
