Soft Rubber Padding for Safe Transport
The Rhino-Rack fishing rod carrier's soft rubber padding grips the contours of your rods, ensuring they'll arrive at the water without being damaged. This carrier is capable of holding up to 5 full-length fishing poles, from a basic spinning rod to a fly fishing rod. It also doubles as a ski and snowboard carrier so you can load it up and hit the slopes in the winter months.
Quick and Easy Access
A large push button on the side of each unit makes it easy to open the carrier. The spring-loaded arms pop open once the button is engaged and remain elevated while you're loading your skis or rods. When you're ready to head out, just push the arm down until it snaps into place.
Built-In Security
The carrier comes equipped with Rhino-Rack Masterkey lock cores to deter theft and provide peace of mind if you make a pit stop or park overnight during your fishing trip. If you have other Rhino-Rack gear and want everything keyed-alike, you can swap out (sold separately) the lock cores to match.
Universal Mounting
Whether you prefer accessories that clamp around your crossbars or install in the bar's top channels, the Rhino-Rack fishing rod carrier has you covered. The universal mounting hardware lets you use the carrier on round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars right out of the box.

The product is what I was expecting to be able to carry my fishing rods. I have a Yakima Rack system so the downside was I had to buy longer bolts to accomodate. Not an easy task at Home Depot, Lowe’s or Tractor supply.

Product great, customer service not so great. After couple of failed order attempts due to missing digit in telephone number our friends at USPS lost package. Multiple conversations with multiple representatives and none returned calls with information as promised.

Product works great, but if you haven’t changed anything I guess your customer service still sucks.

Easy to install and easy to use. I use it to carry my fishing poles and after using the carrier a couple times it has worked well. I wouldn't say the construction is overly robust but it seems very adequate. Service from Etrailer is always excellent. They have the best customer service of any I have ever dealt with.

These work great to carry my rod’s from home to the river and fishing hole to hole. Best to lock if driving over rough terrain so they don’t pop open and locking is a good habit to have. Easy on and off when I am not fishing.

Just installed it on my Tonneau cover and one fishing trip under its belt. 6 miles on a rough road to get off the beaten path for some fly fishing. Poles never budged. Easy to install and works great

Holds fishing poles as I imagined. Seems like good quality. Including 1 or 2 different size bolts would have been nice. The bolts it came with did not fit my roof rack cross bars.

Great product. Used on a multi-state fishing trip. Would be five stars if the clamp system for attaching to vehicle roof bars was faster, but it gets the job done.

They hold rods well. The main problem is that surf spinning rods with large reels have to place with reels up to avoid hitting roof. This can make it a bit difficult to place a number of rods with large surf reels in rack at the same time

The product is perfect however the instructions need to be revised. According to the pamphlet you get, it looks like you should have all these parts but most of them are already installed into the rack, which is great but shouldn’t be a part your looking for. Just confusing. After realizing this, it was simple. Took our first trip to the beach and worked perfect for our fishing rods! Thank you, solved our problem.

- Will the Quick Fist Clamps Work With Fly Fishing Rods in PVC Pipe, and Can I Drive on The HWY?Hello Dale, Yes, the Quick Fist Original Clamps - 1" to 2-1/4" Inner Diameter - Rubber - 25 lbs Each - Qty 4 # QF89FR will work for what you are trying to do just as long as the PVC pipe is between 1" to 2.25" in diameter. These clamps can handle up to 50 pounds per pair, so the 20 pounds will not be an issue, and you are good to go as far as driving on the highway. I am not sure what kind of rack system you are referring to, so just as long as you have a mounting area of 2-1/2" x 3/4"...
view full answer... - Roof Rack For 2024 Ford F150 SuperCrew For Carrying Rhino Rack Rod Carrier RR573F Hello Tony, thanks for getting in touch. We do offer a roof rack that will work on your 2024 Ford F150 SuperCrew Cab. For that I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Roof Rack # RR63ZE. This is a full roof rack system so you get your custom fit kit, towers and 59" aero crossbars. The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars will be compatible with the Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier # RR573F you ordered. You will find out install video linked below.
view full answer... - Will Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier Fit 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser CrossbarsHey Stephen! If the Yakima won't clamp on I don't think the Rhino-Rack will either. They don't have specific dimensions for crossbar fitment, but they're typically designed to fit their largest aftermarket crossbars. If you can grab the dimensions of the crossbars (width and height) I can try to get a better comparison. Do you have T-slots on the top of the factory rack? If you do, the Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier # RR573F can also install in those tracks so that would work no matter...
view full answer... - How to Mount the Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier to the Pioneer Platform RackThe Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier # RR573F is definitely compatible with the Pioneer Platform Racks. There are two ways that you can mount the fishing rod carrier. The first way is to mount a set of accessory bars # RR43138B to the platform and mount the carrier to the bars. This would be beneficial if you had other accessories that also required cross bars for mounting. The other option, which is the way that I would go, is to use #RR43159 to mount the carries at an angle on the edge...
view full answer... - Will The Inno Fishing Rod Carrier Work With Garment Hooks Instead Of Handles The Inno Fishing Rod Carrier # IN56FR clamps onto the handles (pictured below) to mount, so without the handles there would be no way to mount this in your 2021 Jeep grand Cherokee. Instead I recommend going with a rooftop mounted option like the Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier # RR573F. This will require crossbars to mount it to so if you do not have a roof rack already then I have the following recommendations: Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 54" Long - Qty 2 #...

- Will The Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier Work With Thule WingBar Evo Or AeroBlade CrossbarsThe Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier # RR573F will fit round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars so you would have no issues with the Thule WingBar Evo or AeroBlade crossbar models.
view full answer... - How to Carry Fishing Rods on Roof of 2015 Subaru CrosstrekThe Rhino-Rack Ski and Fishing Rod Holder # RR572 is a great way to carry Skis and Fishing Rods. I like that Rhino-Rack has several different sizes available to fit your needs to how many skis or rods you need to carry. The mounting system will attach to the Crosstrek's cross bars whether they are factory or aftermarket aero, square or round bars. The included locking feature makes this one stand out compared to others available. If your son ever plans to carry a snowboard you might...
view full answer... - Looking for Roof Rack Fishing Rod HolderI suggest the Rhino-Rack Ski and Fishing Rod Carrier, depending on size needed either the # RR572, # RR573F, or the # RR576F . These are compatible with round, square, aero type, elliptical, and most factory crossbars with dimensions up to 3-1/2" wide and 1-1/2" tall.
view full answer... - Is The Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier Able To Transport Fly Rods On A 2019 Nissan Rogue?Yes, the Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier # RR573F will work with your factory cross bars on your 2019 Nissan Rogue, and is also able to transport up to 5 fishing poles or fly rods, 3 pairs of skis, or 2 snowboards. I have also included a review video of # RR573F for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Roof Rack Options to Hold Fishing Rods on 2005 Toyota CorollaFor a basic roof rack system to haul fishing rods on your Corolla I would recommend the SportRack # SR1002 roof rack with 50" crossbars. To that add the Rhino-Rack # RR572 4-pole locking fishing rod holder. Optionally you could use the Rhino-Rack # RR573F 5-pole holder or the Rhino-Rack # RR576F 11-pole holder.
view full answer... - Recommended Step for Reaching Roof Top CargoYou could certainly use a small step stool like the # SASA-10C-G to make it easier to reach the Rhino Rack # RR573F fishing rod holder. The step's 15-1/2 height would definitely help bring things within reach. The option I really like is the Rightline Gear door step, part # RL100660. The step hangs off the door striker in your car door jamb, providing you with an easy to use, easy to store boost. I've linked to some product demonstration videos that you might find helpful.
view full answer... - Will the Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier Work W/ the Thule AeroBlade Edge Crossbars?Yes, since the Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier - Locking - 5 Fishing Rods # RR573F can work with round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars, it'll work just fine with the Thule AeroBlade Edge Crossbar like # TH7601B.
view full answer... - Does Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier RR573F Fit 2018 Jeep CompassYes, assuming you already have a roof rack on your 2018 Jeep Compass, the Rhino-Rack carrier will indeed fit your Jeep. The correct part number for the 5-rod carrier is the following: - Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier - Locking - 5 Fishing Rods # RR573F The # RR573F is a really nice choice because it is easy to use with its universal clamping hardware, comes with locks to protect your rods, and is also a very good value for its combination of quality and price.
view full answer... - Is There Adapter to Fit Rhino Rack Fishing Rod Carrier on 2 inch Diameter CrossbarsThe Rhino Rack Fishing Rod Carrier # RR573F can fit on 2 inch diameter crossbars if you use the Heavy-Duty Crossbar Adapter Kit # HD-FK1. This basically gives you longer bolts for the mounting brackets so they can fit the larger diameter bars.
view full answer... - Rhino Rack Roof Rack Recommendation for 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler for Fishing Rod CarrierFor your 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA150B-2, # RRRLT600, # RRRJKB1, and # RRQMFK06 are what you need. This is an aero bar roof rack confirmed as a fit for your vehicle that will minimize wind noise that will fit and install well and is compatible with the Rhino Rack Fishing Rod Carrier part # RR573F. Rhino Rack roof racks are great because you get the higher quality of the more expensive brands but at a better price.
view full answer... - Can You Use The Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier With Hockey Sticks? The Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier, # RR573F can hold items up to 1-3/4" thick. Although I have not attempted to fit hockey sticks to the, # RR573F carrier or the longer models, # RR574F and # RR576F, I see no reason you can't use it for that purpose provided stick is not greater than 1-3/4" thick at the point you are clamping.

view full answer... - Solution to Prevent Fishing Pole Weights from Hitting Vehicle Roof from Wind in TransportSince there isn't a pad setup we can recommend to protect the roof of your 2016 Honda CR-V when carrying the fishing poles the best solution we have would be either to take off everything from the line on the fishing pole before travelling or to use a roof mounted cargo box like the Sportrack Horizon part # SR7011. Having the poles in a box would prevent the weights and everything else from making contact with the roof and would also do a better job in general to protect the poles.
