Video Transcript for Review of Trxstle Fishing Rod Holders - Vehicle Rod Carriers - TRX88VR

Hi, everyone. Steve here with etrailer. Today, we're taking a look at the Trxstle ARC System Rooftop Fishing Pole Carrier. Now this is a locking box. It's gonna hold between two to six rods and it is a nice silver color on the main unit with the black box there on the end. Now this is a patented telescoping housing.

It can adjust while it's mounted in place, and again, it fits most fishing rods, including surf rods, and it's gonna hold between two to six rig setups with a customizable interior organization compartment. Now I do wanna start off by kind of showing you right now I've got it spread out at its full 10-foot length. It can shrink down to 6 1/2 foot. I do wanna come over here and show you above head, you've got this max length stop warning. Obviously, you wanna stop there at that line.

And then each individual line here, you got half foot, foot, half foot, foot, just like that. So nine, eight, seven, all the way down to the end. And then here on the sides, I know you can't see 'em, but right in this area, there is an Allen screw, and one on the opposite side as well. And the key that tightens those or loosens 'em is stored over in the main box, and I'll show you that here in a second. I do wanna go ahead and push this together, one, so you can kind of see just how easy it is, and then two, so I have room to show you the rest of the stuff here in a second.

So again, now it's down to the 6 1/2 foot. I do wanna zoom in. I do wanna spin my table here so we can get a better view of the end of this box here. Okay, so coming around, now you can see this nice hardened case. You do have a key here on the front.

Once it's unlocked, you can then push the button that's gonna spring open this latch, and then you just simply lift. It is gas strut-assisted. So when it's open, again, there's two gas struts, one on this corner, one on this back corner here, you can't see too well, but those are lifting it up, When your hands are full, you can easily get your fishing rods in and out as needed. And these are not included, obviously. These are just some samples I've put in here to show you. So this Allen key I mentioned before, it does store in either one of these removable dividers. It's a pretty nice compartment to store that in. Again, that's what's gonna be used to lock the extension cord or close. And you can move these dividers, take 'em out if you need to or whatever, but each of these dividers has slots in and around them and you do get these included bungee cords here with it. And I'll grab these real quick. You get three of these, one, two, three, and then you could wrap these through those slots and around your fishing rods to help secure them in place. So I'm just gonna put them back on the table. And then once again, this is easy to just close and then lock. Now I got a hard spot to keep my fishing rods safe. That modular interior, those dividers again with the bungees make it really good and easy to keep things organized and whatnot. And I apologize for the angle here, but you do also get these two holders, mounts rather. And you have an option for a riser block if you need it. You may not need this. So just keep in mind this may be something you don't use. And these plastic guys here, these go into kind of these slots on the top and on the sides where those mount holes are and they kind of push in and clip into place and they hide the screws and they also just kind of give it a finished look once everything's installed top and bottom. Now back to these mounts, so obviously these can become loose and then you're gonna put these on your crossbars or whatever. But what I like about it is you can lock this whole front plate. Now you have access inside of here to your bolts and then mount it to the bottom of the unit and then you can lock this back up once you get everything in place. Now this is a different key from the key that opens the box itself. So just keep in mind you'll have two different sets of keys. Of course, you have all your stainless steel hardware to do all your dividers and to mount the unit to the top of your roof rack. Now this is made of an aerospace-grade anodized aluminum, so it's lightweight but it's not gonna rust or anything as well. We also carry this in a solid black configuration, that's part number TRX78VR, sold separately. Now inside of this tubing, there is padded and soft lining to prevent rod damage as well. Folks, this is our look at the silver Trxstle ARC System for your rooftop. I'm Steven with etrailer. Thanks for watching.
