Maximize Your Storage Space
ReelDeal

Get your fishing rods out of the back of your vehicle and free up space for friends and other gear. The Yakima ReelDeal is capable of holding 8 fishing poles up to 7' long. If your poles are over 7' long, you can still carry them, but you'll have to break them down first.

Yakima ReelDeal

During the winter months, the ReelDeal doubles as a ski and snowboard carrier, so you can leave it installed year-round. When used in this capacity the carrier can hold 4 pairs of skis or 2 snowboards.

Soft Rubber Padding for Safe Transport
Yakima ReelDeal

The arms on the ReelDeal have sturdy yet flexible rubber grips. The rubber lines the top and bottom of the arms and protects your gear from being scratched or scuffed by the carrier.

Quick and Easy Access
Yakima ReelDeal

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 rods. When you're ready to head out, just push the arm down until it snaps into place.

Built-In Security
Yakima lock core

With Yakima's built-in security, you won't have to worry about your rods being tampered with if you make a pit stop on the way to the lake. The ReelDeal comes equipped with Yakima SKS lock cores that secure your rods in the carrier. Additionally, the mounting clamps have security screws that require a security wrench to remove. This means you can rest assured that a would-be thief won't walk off with your rods or the carrier. If you have other Yakima products and want everything keyed-alike, you can swap out the lock cores (sold separately) to match.

Adjustable Clamp-On Installation
Reel Deal Crossbar Slot Options

Before mounting the carrier to your roof rack, adjust the clamps and choose the appropriate slot for your crossbars. These slots can be found on the hinge side of the clamp. For most aero bars and round bars, you'll want to use the #2 slot. For most heavy duty (HD) bars you'll want to use the #3 slot. For factory bars try each slot and adjust until you find perfect fit for your crossbars.

Yakima ReelDeal Clamp Mount

After adjusting your clamps, mount the carriers to your roof rack, close the clamps around your crossbar, then turn the over-sized knobs on the T-bolts to tighten the clamps. Once you've tightened the T-bolts, use the provided Allen wrench to tighten the security screw. Check that your install is secure by pushing and pulling on the carriers and tighten if needed.

I used Yakima’s ReelDeal rod carriers for the last year. It’s a great way to carry your fishing rods. I find I can carry 6 w/ reels rods (mine are all 7’) with one set of ReelDeal by alternating reals front to back. The pic shows 2 pair of real deals as I recently moved 10 rods/reels for the start of the Chesapeake spring fishing season. Great product, typical Yakima quality, all systems are lockable… highly recommend if you are frequently moving rods.
I’m also a long-time big fan of etrailer. Their website and product videos are very helpful, sipping is always quick… top notch vender for just about anything you need for move or carry.



by:

Well built, but it should have rubber plugs to stop noise.

Excellent product. It frees up so much room in your car or SUV. No need to put the rear seats down. Less chance for entanglement and damage to rods and reels. Note the Malone Micro-Sport trailer in the picture. Another great etrailer purchase. Still awesome after 2 years

The ReelDeal has been an great addition to my fishing arsenal. If and when I get a new vehicle I will be using this product even if it’s a truck. Note you might get a slight wind whistle at highway speeds. For me this happens when I have no rods in it. It’s very faint and isn’t bothersome IMO



by:

Works great as advertised.Locks are nice but really not very secure considering they are just plastic tabs.overall I would buy again and recommend to a friend!



by:

I bought these as a present for my brother who is an avid fisherman. he uses these with rails mounted to a toyota tacoma. He loves these things as they free up space in the bed - and also so his rods and reels do not get damaged.



by:

Great product! Goes perfectly with my Yakima cross bars.
Easy to install and looks great. Etrailer processes my order quickly but shipping took 7 days, the only disappointment.
I would use etrailer again.



by:

ReelDeal roof rod carrier. Wow another super product from etrailer installed works great.



by:

All ready for the trip to Ocean City MD!! Rods are secure and ready to travel. Very quick install on the Yakima HD rails. Undo the t-bolt fully, move the pivot point to the furthest position, re insert the t-bolt and tighten slowly. Great combo with the Yakima Overhaul system; I now have room for all of our vacation essentials. Thank you Bridget and the team at etrailer; I needed it fast and you got it to me!



by:

Perfect fit! Thanks for the accommodating of the shipping. We will be return customers.



by:

Seems sturdy enough, however, the mounting hardware is bulky looking which takes away from it. There is no option for T-Slot mounting like the Rhino-Rack product which is also cheaper. If they made a T-Slot adapter kit like they do for their ski racks it would look sleeker and sit lower......Yakima, are you listening?



by:

Great service and consumer follow-up. Quality product at good price. Unfortunately, vehicle won't fit in garage with added height:(



by:

Amy J. And the eTrailer team were aweso me!



by:

The shipping from etrailer was super fast! The roof rack fishing rod
Holder worked great on my trip from Pennsylvania to key west and back!



by:

Friendly and fast service, very competitive prices.



by:

Does what it's meant to do. Easy on/off as well. As for # of rods being 8, that depends on rod type, but I need 4-6 usually and haven't had an issue. Am not disappointed w/ my purchase and would buy again.



by:

Very easy to install, and I was able to mount it to the upper deck of my homemade kayak trailer. Very secure, and it looks good!



by:

Delivery was super quick, product functions as advertised!



by:

Fast shipping top quality product good price I'll continue to order from you all.



by:

Serves the purpose. E-Trailer is super b.



by:

It's a ski rack that works with flyrods. Works great!



by:

Order and shipping: first rate. The ordering was simple and secure, and the item shipped quickly.
Product Quality: Excellent. The rack was very simple to install on my roof cross bars. I tested it with my fishing rods and found it easy to secure and store rods. I like the locking mechanisms provided. I will recommend Etrailer and Yakima to anyone looking for quality service and products.

still working great. I use them all the time.



by:

Great service and fast shipping from etrailer. My only issue with the product is that it only fits 4 of my large offshore Shimano Terez poles with Shimano SW25000 reels aternating them facing forward and backward. Product was easy to install and holds the 4 rods/reels tightly. Fortunately, the carrier is small enough that I can fit two of them side by side on my roof rack so I will order a second one to accomodate all 8 pf my rods/reels.



by:

Works great for holding my rods. Good solution for the price. Shipping was fast.



by:

Came as expected and exactly as advertised. Really easy to install and secures your rods without the fear of them falling off your vehicle.



by:

Excellent product. Easy to install. Holds holds five poles firmly in place. Minus one star because it whistles over 60 mph

  • Is There A Ladder Rack That Fits 2004 Ford F-150 And 2019/2020 Dodge 2500
    The best ladder rack for you is the Yakima Outdoorsman 300 Ladder Rack with 66" CrossBars for Full Size Trucks # Y01137-Y00410. Luckily, this fits all bed sizes of the 2004 Ford F-150 and all bed sizes of the 2019/2020 Dodge 2500. The crossbars are round 66" bars and the rack has a weight capacity of 300lbs. I attached a demonstration video for you to check out.

  • What Size Crossbars Will The Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier Y04089 Fit?
    Hello Michael, thanks for getting in touch. The Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier # Y04089 will fit virtually any crossbar up to about 3-1/2" wide x 1-1/2" tall. We have yet to come across a crossbar it does not fit. The same goes for the Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier # RR574F. I am not sure of the exact dimensions of the crossbars on your Armada, but as long as they are no larger than 3-1/2" wide and 1-1/2" tall, you will be fine. Between the two rod carriers you mentioned,...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for a 2014 Subaru Crosstrek w/ Side Rails
    Since your 2014 Subaru Crosstrek has the factory rails you will need a set of crossbars to mount accessories like the Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier item # Y04089 you were looking at. There is a system that mounts directly to the side rails and has more than enough capacity for a fishing pole carrier. You will want the roof rack by Rhino Rack and it includes the following parts: Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 46" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA118B-2 Rhino-Rack...

  • How Does The Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier Attach To Crossbars?
    Hello Todd. The Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier # Y04089 uses clamps to mount to the crossbars. The clamps are adjustable so they can be made to fit virtually any crossbar size or shape. The ReelDeal is clamp-on only so this must be how it attaches to the LockNLoad platform.

  • Why Do Rods Longer than 7 Feet Need to Get Broken Down with Yakima ReelDeal
    Hey Dave, the Yakima Rod Carrier part # Y04089 does require that rods longer than 7 feet need to get broken down. This is a cautionary statement due to the flex of rods on that forward clamp. Some rods may have too much flex from the headwinds and cause issues while driving.

  • Fishing Rod Carriers With Lifters For Extra Clearance For Larger Reel Rods
    The Yakima ReelDeal # Y04089 is the only rod holder that has the lifter brackets # Y8860037 to lift the carrier to gain extra clearance. You could get the Yakima FatCat # Y03095 which has lifter brackets built in. This is marketed towards ski and snowboards but can be used with fishing rods too. Either of these options will give you the clearance you need.

  • Can Yakima ReelDeal Fishing Rod Carrier Mount in T-Slots
    The Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier - Locking - 8 Fishing Poles # Y04089 can only clamp around crossbars so it won't be able to install in the T-slots of your rack. There is an option for a carrier that installs in the T-slots with the Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier - Locking - 11 Fishing Rods # RR576F.

  • Reel Deal Compatibility with Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier # Y04089
    The Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier # Y04089 would work with a rod that has a Reel Deal accessory installed on it. I am not totally sure what you mean by Texan Cross Rail though.

  • Difference Between Rhino-Rack RR576 and RR576F
    The Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier, # RR576 is marketed for 6 pairs of skis or 4 boards and is 27-9/16" Long. The Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier, # RR576F has the same dimensions but uses the F identifier at the end to associate with fishing. This is for naming convention to aligned with similar products on the website.

  • Questions on the Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier
    The Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier, # Y04089 mounts directly above the crossbars of your vehicle. This means the cross bars determine the placement/spread between the two clamps. So when it is stated to break down rods longer than 7 feet, this is a cautionary statement due to the flex of rods on that forward clamp. Some rods may have too much flex fom the headwinds and cause issues while driving. The # Y04089 comes with needed mounting hardware that has adjustments available....

    I have the perfect setup for you to get your fishing rods to your favorite fishing hole with your 2023 Toyota Tacoma. I always recommend the Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells # Y02-480B when it comes to truck toppers because you get the nice quality of an aero-style crossbar as well as the adjustability for different loads you might need to transport.

  • Roof Rack Mounted Kayak Paddle Recommendation
    Kayak paddles are a little too thick to fit in the Yakima Carrier part # Y04089 so instead I would recommend you go with the Yakima TopGrip part # Y04086 which was designed for carrying paddles. It's a lot smaller so it would take up less room on your roof rack as well as store smaller too.

  • Can Surf Fishing Rods Be Carried in the Yakima ReelDeal Fishing Rod Carrier

  • Will the Yakima Reel Deal Fit on Square Cross Bars
    The Yakima Reel Deal # Y04089 is designed to fit on your square bars, but there are some adjustments that need to be made to the mounting brackets to make them fit a little more snugly. I've linked a review video we did on the Reel Deal and at around the 7:30 mark of the video Colin talks about how you'll want to adjust your brackets to mount your Reel Deal to square bars. You won't need to purchase any additional parts to make this work.

    Yes, you can install the Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier - Locking - 8 Fishing Poles, part # Y04089, in the channels of a LockNLoad Platform. You will need the Replacement T-Slot Mounting Hardware for Yakima FatCat and Whispbar Ski Carriers, part # 8860085. The existing clamping system of the ReelDeal must be removed to install the T-Slot hardware. I have included a product description link below.

    While I can tell you how to determine a fit, there isn't a vehicle-specific fit for the Inno Fishing Rod Carrier - Ceiling Mount - J-Hook Style - 7 Rods # IN56FR. To determine if the carrier will work in your 2021 Subaru Outback you'll need a couple things; one is that your Outback needs to have grab handles above the rear seats. And you'll need to measure the distance between the grab handles (where they attach to your Subaru) and that distance needs to be between 35-1/2" and 47" apart...

The feet of this system can slide into the t-slots in the rails of the cover for easy installation/removal or adjustment to handle varying loads.

  • Recommended Solution for Carrying Surf Fishing Rods on SUV
    I have a solution for you, but to my knowledge there is not a rear cargo carrier of that size available that you could use. If the rods come apart into 2 or more pieces, you might be able to use a hitch mounted cargo carrier like the Yakima Swinging Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Trailer Hitch # Y62VR. This carrier has 51-11/16" length of internal storage, so your rods would need to break down to less than that length in order for this to work. The best solution would be to add a roof...
