Just wondering if anyone has knowledge of any companies that make rod carriers that can be attached to car roof racks. I'm looking for something that will accommodate up to 3-4 beach rods and that can be securely attached to the roof rails of my car.

At the moment, I've got a rod holdall that could be bungied to the roof rails but would prefer something more secure.

Any help appreciated.

i get a lengh of black soil pipe. tape and seal one end and cut it just longer than my rods. tape and seal the other when loaded and lash to the rails with a few bungie ropes.

i have traveled all over like this and its never moved.

you might need 2 for 5 beachcasters. i know you can actually get the proper plugs and screw caps for them.

mine also gets lashed to the side of my roof box.

Forget the car roof, and keep your rods in the car itself. I have seen too many mishaps with rods being transported on car roofs. Years ago most of the sea anglers in S.W.Scotland transported their rods on roof racks or rod carriers, nowadays, nobody does.
