Magnetic Fishing Rod Racks for Vehicle (Truck or SUV) with Ferrous Metal Hood and Roof

This is a great product. I am an avid saltwater fly fisherman. I have used this device to transport up to 6 rods at one time (albeit not on a highway). It has worked like a charm for me. Pay attention when placing it on your car and taking it off. YOu want to lever it off the surface without letting it slide. If it slides there is the chance that any grit caught between the magnetic base and the car will scratch the finish. I used for over 8 weeks and it has not been an issue.

Since I got rid of my pick up I needed another way to transport my 12 ft surf poles. Instead of getting roof racks for my SUV and my car, I decided to give this a try based on reviews. Also the fact that I could quickly and easily use this on diffrent vehicles if I needed too.I know this is better suited for the average fishing pole, more geared toward the smaller freshwater pole and reel compared larget surf poles reels. I was able to use it on the hood and roof of the car. I decided not too, only becuase this time of year with shoe traffic tourism it is not uncommon to get pulled over. Thought it best to avoid the hassle of possibly being pulled over for "obstruction of view".In the picture I have two 12 ft poles and one 7"4 pole. I was choose to take the reels off for the first trip since they are very expensive, and also I was a little weary of how well the magnets would hold.On the way home I drove across a long (very) windy bridge connecting the island to the main land. I decided to hit the highway to see how the rack dod on the highway at 65mph.On the way out I was nervous. Especially since this was not not a short slow drive. Wasnt going fishing at a local lake with ultra light or fly rods.Had the sun roof open and watched the poles/rack incase I had to reach up to grab them or pull over. Not really one to write revies. However I feel I pushed the rack to its limits and it performed flawlessly. Would reccomend and would buy again.A word of caution for those with hatchbacks. (Pictured attached) Be careful opening the hatch if the poles are on top of the roof. I almost broke the eyelet off of my surf pole. The 7ft pole would have been fine. Either take poles off before opening hatch or have poles hang over the front of car.

Just used the rod holder this past weekend. 6 rods, on top of my SUV roof….. 75mph on the interstate. Not a single issue. My only regret is that I didn’t have something like this 16 years ago when I started fly fishing. The magnetic rack worked perfect. Would recommend, would buy again

I purchased this product after breaking two high end rods in the back of my pickup. I have placed them as shown in the photograph. Although the manufacturer says not to use them over 55mph, I tried them with rods in place after applying a backup string to the bumper and windshield wiper. I had no issues or slippage going 65 with either holder. However, you are warned, and should not hold the manufacturer responsible if you have issues.The racks come on and off easily. However, apply and remove them by tilting instead of pulling straight up. I had no paint issues. I also found the rods stayed in place perfectly after applying the elastic bungie cord holders over rods.Depending on the height of your pickup, the inside top bungie cord may require you to stand on the sideboard. However, they are very easy to use on cars.So far, I have been very pleased with the product and would purchase it again. Maybe that is the best aspect of any review.

I will use the magnets on the areas above the passenger window and the suction on the engine hood. Make sure you know if the attachment area if metal. If not, purchase the two suction cups for safe attached to the vehicle.

I got excited when I received this item. This seems to be a good product. The magnet is strong and the material is sturdy but flexible. The bungee cord is also strong. You have to be careful when putting this on your car’s roof because it feels like it will cause a dent as the magnet has a strong pull. I haven’t driven it with fishing rods yet but I don’t think it will fly away. The only potential problem I anticipate is the rubber cap on the magnet disintegrating. For the price it would be nice if it comes with spare rubber caps. I mounted it on my truck and tried an 11 ft fishing rod. I will be carrying 4 rods. Well see how this will hold over time. 5 ***** for now.Update after a year. It’s going strong. Holds very well at 60-65 mph. I don’t leave on the roof of my car for 2 reasons, first, it can get stolen and second, too much sun may damage the rubber. Will buy a second set.

I was so stoked. Not only did this rod holder make my truck look gnarly but it solved so many problems. Next to come was seeing my prized rods bouncing down the highway, smashed to smithereens....

This thing works great I have had up to 6 rod on here and speed up to 60+ and they don’t even budge I would definitely recommend.
