Carrying rigged fishing rods on Pioneer Platform

[Micko2005 Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Micko2005]

I have recently fitted a 1928x12xx pioneer platform to my 2016 GXL prado. Whilst I don't have a bullbar I want to be able to carry rigged surf fishing rods (12-13 ft) and reels whilst travelling up and down the beach, i.e Double island point and fraser island etc. I know Rhino make the fishing rod holders but I was interested if anyone had used the bullbar type rod holders mounted horizontal to the trays or roofracks to hold the rods and reels. Any pictures and comments or ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Mick

Hi Mick,
While not 'ideal', I made good with a couple occy straps and some of the rhino eye bolts. Hooked onto one eye bolt, wrapped around rods, hook onto opposite eye bolt. Kinda follow? Had one set just below the reels and another higher up. Worked good travelling 30km @ 100kph on the black top. Not a permanent setup though, just got me out of a pinch.

Thanks, yeah I get the picture, I have the eye bolts also so maybe worth a try. It's mainly to move from spot to spot on the beach without having to break down the rods all the time.

Or on the spare tyre


How about inside?

Could also do a variation of the alvey carriers, just need to make sure you either have the clearance below or clearance to the side so your reels don't bang against the car/rack
Whatever you end up going with, just make sure you strap them down even if going short distances, good way to ruin a weekend away by running over your fav whiting or jew rods if they bounced out
cheers

Vote 1 for the QuikFist clamps that AMTS has pictured above.
One wrap Velcro also would be an option, quick and secure. You can grab a roll from Bunno's for about $20 then just cut it to your needs.

Yeah quikfist's look ideal for grabbing the handle and stopping the reel from rotating about. Anyone know what the part at the front is?
