Overview
Four silicone-wrapped stainless steel tubes mount into a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver, giving anglers a quick-release rack for transporting rods on a vehicle rather than fishing with them in place.
This is a hitch-mounted transport and storage rack rather than an in-use rod holder for actively fishing; it's meant for carrying rods to and from the water on a vehicle, not holding a line while fishing. The tubes are sized for rods up to about 1.57 inches in diameter, so oversized rod butts or certain surf rods may not fit. It rotates between vertical and tilted positions to clear the tailgate.
- 4-tube capacity, 2 inch hitch mount
- Quick release pin, tool-free removal
- Stainless steel with silicone rod wraps
- Rotates vertical to tilted for tailgate clearance
Who it's for
Anglers who need to transport multiple rods on a vehicle with a 2 inch hitch receiver will get the most use from this, keeping rods organized and off the truck bed or interior. Not useful for anyone without a 2 inch receiver or for holding a rod while actively fishing.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Holds up to 4 rods in one hitch-mounted rack
- Quick release pin for tool-free removal
- Silicone-wrapped tubes protect rods from scratches
- Rotates between vertical and tilted to clear the tailgate
- Only fits 2 inch hitch receivers
- Tubes sized for rods up to about 1.57 inches in diameter
- No reviews yet to confirm long-term corrosion resistance
Performance notes
The quick release pin lets the whole rack come off the hitch without tools when it's not needed, and the tubes rotate between vertical and tilted so the rack doesn't block the tailgate. Stainless steel construction with silicone wraps is built to resist salt water corrosion and cushion the rods against scratches during transport.
