Space-saving Ski and Fishing Rod Carrier
Because the Rhino-Rack ski and fishing rod carrier installs on the side of your Rhino-Rack Pioneer platform, you'll have plenty of space on your roof for larger items like a bike rack, a roof cargo box, or even a kayak carrier. This extra space allows for countless combinations of gear, ensuring no gear gets left behind. The carrier can hold up to 4 fishing rods or 2 pairs of skis. The soft rubber padding grips the contours of your gear, so you can load it up and hit the lake or the slopes.
Quick and Easy Access
A large push button on the side of each unit makes it easy to open the carrier. This makes it easy to open, even if you're wearing bulky gloves. 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.
Quick and Easy Installation
The Rhino-Rack ski and fishing rod carrier mounts in your platform's top channels. Simply attach the mounting bracket to the carrier's base, then place the carrier anywhere you want along the platform's outer edge and bolt the bracket down. Since the carrier can be used for outdoor activities during every season, you can leave it installed on your platform year round.

Easy to install. Solid construction. It does tend to have a little wiggle to it, not sure I like that. It does not wiggle where it is attached to roof rack but where the feet swivel to the bar. I have already used this for a 1200 mile trip and it has held up great.

This is exactly what I wanted to carry fishing rods.my only complaint is not with you but rhino. I've tried 3 times to register the warranty and can't. Probably don't need it anyway. Can't wait to get the bars to mount these racks. Should be here in a few days.

I am glad you are liking it so far and are able to get the whole arsenal of rods in it. Luckily this carrier fits onto almost any rack/basket system so I do not think you will have any issues. What vehicle are you getting?

????? Perfect for Long Fishing Trips!
We mounted the Rhino-Rack Locking Fishing Rod Carrier on our 2016 Toyota 4Runner and have already taken two trips from southern Michigan to Canada. It securely held all of our fishing poles the entire way without any problems. The locking feature provides great peace of mind when stopping along the route or leaving the vehicle unattended. It is sturdy, convenient, and makes transporting our rods so much easier. Highly recommend!

Good value for your dollar. A little noisy but it does what it's supposed to do.....keep stuff (8 rods and reels) secure. Some reviews stated the lock was hard to operate but if you pull down and compres the rubber gasket....it works fine..."those" people are idiots! Easy install too...just don't crank the bolts too much or the plastic will break....I'm sure "those" people figured that out as well.

Accessory allows you to mount it traditionally or on a track system for secure flush mounting and easy access. This does a great job transporting fishing rods, but not such a great job at keeping your reels secure and safe from dirt. It is noisy - and is best suited for long distance traveling when you don’t need you rods and reels ready as soon as you arrive. You do not want to waste your time rigging when your buddies are catching that topwater bite. Holding rods for long periods of time tends to temporarily warp the rubber. A special Thank you to etrailer for getting this accessory to me on time for a camping trip - 5.0 out of 5.0 stars customer service.

What an amazing and very well-made product. It is going to allow me to get to the beach with all three of my surf rods fully ready to go! Plus I won't have to break my poles down to come home and I can fully load my truck the night before and leave it in the garage, saving me loading time. This product will save me the bulk of an hour every day that I head to the beach. Thank you!

Awesome, that's so good to hear! Just be sure the carrier and your rods clear the top of the garage door before trying to pull in.....

- Is the Rhino-Rack Ski and Fishing Rod Carrier Kit Available with a 90-Degree Bracket?Hey Damon! Rhino Rack just has the 75-degree angled brackets that come in the Rhino-Rack Ski and Fishing Rod Carrier Kit # RR572-43159, and they don't have one with a 90-degree bracket. Are you just trying to give yourself as much space on your Pioneer rack as possible?
view full answer... - Can Rhino-Rack Ski and Fishing Rod Carrier Fit Inno Aero Shaped CrossbarsThe Rhino-Rack Ski and Fishing Rod Carrier for Pioneer Platform Rack # RR572-43159 is compatible with the top channels of the Inno crossbars part # INXB123-130 that you referenced. That said, your bars might be too low to the roof of your vehicle for the rack to install at an angle. If this is the case you could always clamp the carrier around the crossbars.
view full answer... - How Do I Connect A Ski/Snowboard Carrier To A Rhino-Rack Pioneer PlatformI have the perfect solution for you. With a Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack like the Universal # RR42114BF, you can use the Rhino-Rack Carrier Brackets # RR43159 to mount the Ski and Fishing Rod Carrier # RR572. We actually have this setup as one part number with # RR572-43159 as well. I have attached a short video demo of this carrier that you can check out too.

- Does Rhino-Rack Ski and Fishing Rod Carrier for Pioneer Platform Rack Fit Other RacksHi Timothy, It is highly likely you can use other racks with the Rhino-Rack Ski and Fishing Rod Carrier for Pioneer Platform Rack # RR572-43159. There isn't a list or anything of the sort regarding the other overland racks it fits, but it just uses T-bolts to mount into the channels so your rack will have to have those. So long as the channels are at least 3/4" wide for the square T-bolt to mount, it'll fit.

For clarity "OEM raised roof rails" are the rails that run from back to front along the top outside edge of the vehicle. "Raised" roof rails means the rails are raised up from the roof so much that you could put your hand between roof and the rail. "Crossbars" on the other hand are generally attached to roof rails and run across the vehicle from side to side. I called my contact at Rhino-Rack...
view full answer... - Parts Needed To Mount Skis To A Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform RackFor your Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Roof Tray # RR95TB, you are going to need to use the Rhino-Rack Ski and Fishing Rod Carrier Brackets for Pioneer Platform Rack # RR43159 to then be able to mount the Rhino-Rack Ski and Fishing Rod Carrier # RR572 to the platform. We do carry this as a set with the mounting brackets and the ski carrier at part # RR572-43159 if you'd prefer that option. Attached are a couple of videos for you to check out as well.

The Pioneer Platform Rack will give you very diverse ways to carry gear and has multiple accessories to help you do so, such as the Rhino-Rack Ski and Fishing Rod Carrier for Pioneer Platform Rack # RR572-43159 or even the Rhino-Rack...
view full answer... - Will The Rhino-Rack Ski And Fishing Rod Carrier For Platform Rack Fit Putco T-Slot Rails The Rhino-Rack Ski and Fishing Rod Carrier for Pioneer Platform Rack # RR572-43159 hasn't been tested on Putco T-Slot bed rails so I can't confirm that the mounting brackets for the t-bolt would fit the opening, however, you can trim the sides of the brackets down to fit inside the opening. If you have any brackets from another item that you know will fit your Putco rails then you could also use a compatible bolt or use a drill and tap to cut a larger hole for the included bolts with...
view full answer... - Snowboards, Skis, Fishing Pole Carriers To Mount to Malone AirFlow-2 CrossbarsThe Rhino-Rack # RR572-43159 ski/pole holder is designed for the Pioneer Rack and slides into slots that run from front to back rather than side to side like your Malone AirFlow-2 cross bars. The perfect solution is the Rhino-Rack # RR574F that will mount directly to your cross bars and hold 8 fishing poles, 4 pairs of skis, or 2 snowboards. I like that the locks are included. I have attached a video review for you.
view full answer... - Will the Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier Brackets Work W/ The Rhino-Rack 562 CarrierNo, the Rhino-Rack Ski and Fishing Rod Carrier Brackets for Pioneer Platform Rack # RR43159 is only going to be compatible with the Rhino-Rack Ski and Fishing Rod Carrier for Pioneer Platform Rack # RR572-43159. Your older Rhino Rack 562 Ski and Snowboard carrier was never designed to be used on their platform rack, only with crossbars.

To use the Rhino-Rack Universal Pioneer Platform Rack over the top of a Retrax Pro Tonneau Cover you will need the 71" Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System item # RRVA180B-RRRLT600 you referenced. I have a couple of options for Pioneer Platforms depending on what size you are looking for. I have listed them below. I would go for the largest option to maximize the available space.
