Maximize Your Storage Space
Inno Rooftop Fishing Rod Box

Get your fishing rods out of the back of your vehicle and free up space for friends and other gear. Inno's Rod Box is capable of holding 8 fully-rigged fishing poles up to 9' long and is perfect for everything from basic spinning rods to fly fishing rods. If your poles are over 9' long, you can still carry them, but you'll have to break them down first.

Inno's Rod Box

In addition to freeing up space inside your vehicle, Inno's carrier also saves space on your roof. Because it's under 14" wide, you'll have room on your roof rack to carry a kayak, cargo basket, or other gear.

Adjustable Length

Inno Rooftop Fishing Rod Box Size Chart

In its longest configuration, the box can hold rods up to 9' long. The medium length configuration is perfect for standard-sized poles, up to 8' long. While the short configuration is great for smaller rods, rods that need to be broken down, or for when storing the box in your garage.

Enclosed Carrier for Safe Transport
Inno Rod BoxInno Rod Box

Made with pole protection in mind, the Rod Box's enclosed design keeps your rods safe from the elements. If your favorite fishing spot is off the beaten path, with low branches and road debris, or you just want to keep your rods protected from high winds, this carrier keeps your poles covered during transport. On the inside of the Rod Box, padding provides cushioned support for your fishing poles. Low profile cushions serve as support for the reels and taller cushions support the grips and rods. Because of the carrier's construction, you could rig your rods at home and be ready to fish as soon as you hit the stream.

Single-Side Opening Lid
Inno Rooftop Fishing Rod BoxInno Rooftop Fishing Rod Cargo Box

Because the Rod Box only opens on one side, but can be installed in either direction, you can mount it on the driver or passenger side. Unlock and open the 3 latches on the side of the carrier to lift the lid. Support hinges on both ends of the box keep the lid open while you load and unload your gear.

Built-In Security
Inno Latch LockInno Rooftop Fishing Rod Box

Whether you're out on the water or making a pit stop on the way to the lake, you won't have to worry about your gear being tampered with. Inno's Rod Box comes equipped with 3 lock cores that secure your rods inside the box. And since the mounting hardware is inside the carrier as well, you can rest assured that a would-be thief won't walk off with it.

Tool-Free Installation
Install of Inno Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier

Weighing in at only 26.5 lbs, the carrier is light enough to lift and install by yourself. After mounting the carrier on your roof, line up each clamp with the crossbars and close the handle of the memory mount clamp. The first time you install the carrier on your crossbars you'll want to adjust the adjuster knob on the side of the memory clamp and tighten as necessary. If you want to uninstall and then reinstall later, the memory mounts will be set to your crossbars, just close the lever and pull on the carrier to test the tightness of your install. The Rod Box clamps to most roof rack crossbars without the need for tools.

Kudos to etrailer.com,
The team on this
very thread was not pushy and very helpful with my inquiry into the Inno IF44BK on this thread prior to my purchase. At first, I was unsure. I needed a Rod carrier that would hold two 8'7-inch rods fully rigged with 100-gram stick-baits along with a jigging pre-rigged set-up ready to land Monster Amberjack and Yellowtail at a moment's notice. This Rod box is a true game-changer for me because it eliminates the need to travel on a Friday after work for four hours plus to my fishing location and then after landing at my hotel spending another hour plus putting together and prepping my three set-ups. NOTE: ((I Test all my connections very rigorously)) lf it doesn't look right or a knot breaks with applied pressure at full drag when pulling line I do it again, and again until perfect. As all serious angler know, the best chance at landing monster fish is having zero connection failures. Now instead of doing all of that I can get a good night's sleep because I can prep my gear at home on a Monday or Tuesday prior to the trip and afterwords stow the rods fully loaded securely in the IF44BK fully assembled with Reel, Rod, Handle and Stickbait attached. Each day of my trip it is awesome to haul my rods and gear to the boat. When getting off the boat simply rinse down the rods, leave as is fully rigged, store in the container and take out the following morning. Etc. etc. No rushing and most importantly is a peace of mind indispensable time saver. Also, I can use the IF44BK for my shark fishing rod applications as it will hold and protect all five of my Deep-Sea Fishing Rods without having to worry if they will break. For me because I am running the Thule Hullivator Thule thicker racks, I had to mount the IF44BK to my truck using a unique improvisation mount contraption to secure the Inno Rod Box securely to the roof of my Truck. The box comes off and, on the truck, easily. The only quirk I had is that I am in Korea and had to pay an extra dollars for shipping even though I had an U.S. APO AP address. Despite that set-back I give the IP44BK A 5 STAR RATING because as an avid Big Game Pelagic Fisherman the rod-box perfectly suits my needs. I am writing this review for others on the fence about purchasing this product; had I seen this review I would not have hesitated buying this product. I hope it helps you in your decision-making process. Bill



by:

It goes on easy, comes off easy, i haven't had it stolen and no jerk has come along and identified my gear as valuable and ripped off my reels or broken my rod tips so yes, I'd definitely buy this rack again. I get to where I've looked forward to and my gear is rigged ready to rock and roll. Keeps your gear upto where it cant piece your ear or eyeball. Nice purchase.

Sounds like the rack is a total gear hero for you, Emilio!



by:

Received yesterday, got put together. Will meet my needs for storage of my 9ft. fly rods. Have not installed, will be fabricating a rack for my kayak trailer to install on. Will summit a photo after built and installed.



by:

The only, affordable, rod case that can hold 8 fully rigged 9ft fly fishing rods. Light, durable, easy to assemble and mount. I love this rod carrier!



by:

After owning this rod holder for more than a year - I am very pleased with it. Used for one extended trip of almost 4000 miles through all kinds of weather. Rods and reels were secure and kept from the elements.

That's great to hear Kevin, and super awesome that the rod holder endured your long journey! Where's your favorite place to fish?

I really like this carrier. It is easy to mount, easy to open, and easy to lock. I would definitely buy it again. Overall quality is good.



by:

Easy to assemble. Great choice for rod storage and transportation. Considering buying a second one for the other side of my truck.

It looks awesome on your truck, Ryan! What type of fishing do you do?



by:

Fast Shipping second one I bought here! Thanks

Service was great in getting the replacement out to me while I'm on the road in a very timely fashion!



by:

I purchased this carrier last year in advance of a family trip to Lake of the Ozarks. Since the bed of my truck was going to be filled to the brim with luggage, coolers, and other supplies, I wanted to make sure that my fishing rods wouldn't become damaged when/if heavy items shifted during the trip.

It was very easy to assemble and even easier to attach to my roof rack. I filled the carrier to capacity and the interior storage configuration kept everything nice and neat - no tangles. Additionally, I like the fact that it can be adjusted to accommodate varying lengths of rods. One of the best features of this carrier is that it has locks on each of its entry latches, as opposed to just one. I had no issue with leaving them in the carrier for extended periods of time, confident in its ability to deter potential thieves.

Thus far, I can find no faults with the Inno Rod carrier and highly recommend it.



by:

Wish the material in the shell was thicker and sturdier. However, it works as advertised, very convenient to use.



by:

It was easy to put together and install. I love the flexibility of the different lengths. It was super easy to connect to my roof rack… possibly the best feature. Loading rods and reels is easy, though you may have to great creative with your arrangements if packing certain size outfits. I had 7 spinning outfits packed in there with ease (these included 4 surf fishing outfits with larger spinning reels). The carrier closed easily over all these outfits, held everything securely, and locked securely. When I opened the case after our ride from NJ to NC, all was still in place. A great product.



by:

I love my Inno Rod Box. It stays on my Suburban just about all the time. It's secure and yet easy enough to offload when needed. Love it.



by:

Fairly easy to put together, works nicely for transporting rods. Was able to safely transport more than 10 rods, with 6'6" to 9" lengths. Securely attaches to the roof rack and has double locks to keep the case secure. Does have a slight whistle when driving in wind, but nothing you can't tune out, and may have more to do with how it is attached to my roof rack than the actual carrier. Has made transporting rods much easier but not having them in the car. I'm happy with my purchase.



by:

I REALLY LIKE THE CARGO BOX. I WISH THERE WAS A BETTER WAY TO KEEP THE CLIPS MOUNTED INSIDE SO THAT THEY DON'T MOVE AROUND WHEN I'M TAKING THE BOX ON AND OFF THE ROOF OF MY CAR BUT OVERALL, THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT.



by:

Easy to assemble and install



by:

Looks great so far. Good assembly instr uctions!



by:

Just received so I cannot comment on how good the product is.
It did arrive in good shape and everything was in the carton except the hex wrench.
The direction for assembly leave alot to desire.



by:

The product was delivered on time and was very easy to setup
fits well on the roof of my Jeep Wrangler

See what our Experts say about this Inno Fishing Rod Holders

  • Can The Inno Rod Box Fishing Rod Carrier Fit On A Yakima HD Crossbars
    The Inno Rod Box Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier # IN52FR can fit crossbars 1" to 3-1/2" wide x 3/4" to 1-3/8" tall. Yakima HD crossbars are 1.45" tall x 2.83" wide so they'll be slightly too tall to work with the carrier. You'll need to go with a smaller crossbar roof rack or ladder rack in order to mount this fishing rod carrier. If you can give me more info on the vehicle and whether your wanting just a roof rack or a ladder rack then I'd be happy to recommend something for you.

  • Will The Inno IN52FR Hold 4 9ft Long Fly Fishing Rods?
    Hey Bob, The Inno rod carrier # IN52FR can hold 8 full length rods at 9' long. Any rod over 9' long in length will need to be broken down. The 4 rods you have at 9' long are going to fit great in this rod carrier with no issues. I agree the open from the side feature is great and I think it will work well on your kayak trailer. That is going to be a sweet setup. Does your kayak carrier have crossbars on it to install? What kind of trailer is it?

  • Will Inno Rod Box IN52FR Mount On FrontRunner Slimline Platform?
    Hello, and thanks for getting in touch. The Inno Rod Box Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier # IN52FR would not be compatible with the FrontRunner Slimline platform. Reason being the platform does not use a standard crossbar shape/size and the outer "rail" would prevent the box from lowering all the way on to the crossbars. To mount the rod carrier, a better option is to use a roof rack with crossbars. I see that you were looking at parts for a 2015 VW Touareg. The Yakima Roof Rack # Y62GD is...

  • Can the Inno Rod Box Hold More Than 8 Fishing Rods if They Don't Have the Reels on?
    Hey Ken! Since the Inno Rod Box Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier # IN52FR can hold up to 8 geared up fishing rods I don't see you having any problem with at least 10 rods. For 12 rods you'll likely be stacking some of them on top of each other. My brother-in-law is super into fishing, and he has full sleeves he puts on his fishing rods so if I were in your shoes I'd do the same just to keep them from scratching each other. What type of fish do you like to catch? I'm not much of a fisherman...

It can be adjusted hold rods up to 9' long so you will easily be keep your rods inside fully rigged and assembled and ready to and ready to fish as soon as you get to your destination.

  • Does The Inno Rod Box IN52FR Require Additional Tie Downs?
    Hello again, William. The Inno Rod Box # IN52FR does not require any additional tie downs. The included crossbar clamps will be sufficient for securing the box to your crossbars. The crossbar clamps are secured from inside the box, so once the box is locked it is not coming off the crossbars. You will be able to give it a good shake and say "that's not going anywhere" haha. The pictures below show the crossbars clamps. They are quite secure. Let me know if you need anything else.

  • Will My Oars Fit in the Inno Rod Box Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier, What is the Width and Height?
    Hello Scott, The Inno # IN52FR Rod Box is a rooftop cargo box designed to carry up to 8 fishing rods with reels attached, but it looks like it could be a great option for your raft oars too. The exterior dimensions are 13-3/8" wide x 6-5/8" tall, and the length is adjustable from 93" up to 115" (that’s 7'9" to 9'7"), which gives you flexibility depending on the length of your oars. The internal width is around 12", and internal height around 6", allowing for some room inside for slightly...

  • Could Inno Rod Box Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier Fit ARB Crossbars
    Hey Raymond, you will need to measure the width and height of your ARB crossbars to determine if the Inno Rod Box Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier # IN52FR will work for you. This fits crossbar dimensions that are up to 3-1/2" wide x 1-3/8" tall so as long as your bars are smaller than that this will work for you.

    It appears you are going to need to have a front mount trailer hitch receiver fabricated for your 2023 or 2024 Ford Expedition as I do not see a custom fit aftermarket option available. We do have the Weld-On 2" Receiver # E17 which will aid in the fabrication of a custom receiver. If this is not an option you like the only other I can recommend is installing a Inno Roof Rack with the Crossbars # INXB160-2 and Feet # INXS150 which will attach to the factory raised rails on your Expedition....

  • Is the Inno Rod Box Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier Weatherproof
    Hey Mark, thanks for reaching out! The Inno Rod Box Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier # IN52FR is designed to help protect against the elements, and while it will do a decent job at keeping water out, it isn't designed to be watertight or weatherproof so there's still a possibility that clothes in the bottom of it could get a little wet. Since this is meant for carrying fishing rods, Inno wasn't too concerned with keeping the interior as dry as possible. From my understanding those drain holes...

  • Can The Inno Fishing Rod Rooftop Cargo Box Be Used To Haul Skis What d
    While you could technically place skis inside of the Inno Fishing Rod Rooftop Cargo Box # IN52FR, it isn't really designed for this kind of use so there's nothing to secure the skis inside of the box. If you don't mind the skis being loose inside of the box or have some other gear you could throw in there to keep them in place then you'll have no problem using this. This box has 3 stages of length adjustment so that you can easily adjust the box to accommodate the skis and any other equipment...

  • Will The Inno Rod Box Fishing Rod Carrier Fit On Rhino-Rack Aero Crossbars?
    Yes, the Inno Rod Box Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier # IN52FR is going to fit on a set of Rhino-Rack Aero cross bars like the Vortex # RRVA150B-2. The Inno Rod Box will fit a cross bar up to 3-1/2" wide and 1-3/8" tall and as small as 1" wide by 3/4" tall. The Vortex bar is 3-1/8" wide and 1-3/16" tall.

  • Will Yakima TopWater Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier Fit Real Truck Truxedo Elevate Crossbars?
    Hey David, I do have a solution for you, but the Inno Rod Box Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier - Locking - 8 Fishing Poles # IN52FR fits up to 3-1/2" wide crossbars so it will not work. The Yakima TopWater Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier - Locking - 8 Fishing Poles # Y04088 also fits up to 3-1/2" crossbars according to my research, so you'll need to add the SmarT-Slot Mounting Kit for Yakima TopWater Rooftop Fishing Pole Carrier # Y04094 so that it fits your crossbar t-slot channel.

  • Will the Inno Roof Bx Rooftop Fishing Carrier Work With Truck Bed Ladder Racks
    Adam, the Inno Rod Box Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier # IN52FR should work just fine with a truck bed ladder rack because this carrier can be used on round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars - which is basically every type of bar out there. As long as the ladder rack does not have a spread of over 82", you're good to go.
