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.
I have not placed the racks on my vehicle yet as I’m waiting to complete some medical conditions keeping me limited , but I have opened the box this morning , I have seen others in the fishing community in Hawaii using the Reel deal fishing racks and have received excellent comments . I’m keeping busy and prepping to get back into some form of relaxation and therapy , I’m very pleased to see how well built the racks are and very sturdy construction and ease of operation which will help me protect my valuable fishing poles and give me piece of mind there very protected and secure while driving to and from locations . Can’t wait to take my grandkids out Holo holo ( venturing ) to bond and spend quality time together . When I have my grandson over the house I’ll ask him to place the racks on the truck . I think it’s a great product and others will feel the same way after purchasing their own set .
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
Perfect fit! Thanks for the accommodating of the shipping. We will be return customers.
Well built, but it should have rubber plugs to stop noise.

It’s a great product that is beautifully designed. We have driven over 200 miles to our fishing spots and the poles are secure.

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!
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!
ReelDeal roof rod carrier. Wow another super product from etrailer installed works great.
Product came in good shape, and fast. Much appreciated
Quality product as always from this man ufacturer
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.
Amy J. And the eTrailer team were aweso me!
Great service and consumer follow-up. Quality product at good price. Unfortunately, vehicle won't fit in garage with added height:(
Works great for holding my rods. Good solution for the price. Shipping was fast.
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?
Friendly and fast service, very competitive prices.
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.
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.
Delivery was super quick, product functions as advertised!
Fast shipping top quality product good price I'll continue to order from you all.
Excellent product. Easy to install. Holds holds five poles firmly in place. Minus one star because it whistles over 60 mph
Absolutely love these! The keep at least 6 rods secure while driving, with zero worry they will detach. I love the ratchet-lock design, as you may have thicker handles or thin ones, but the pressure of the rubber seats keep them all nice and tight. I have had no issues with rattle or the bases coming loose.
Only issue you may watch out for: If you have long rods, such as a 13' Spey, the tips will bow and flex a lot in the wind. I keep those in the back of my SUV when traveling on freeways at high speeds, but transfer to the racks when on the river.
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!
It's a ski rack that works with flyrods. Works great!
Works well on my Yakima Rack & Roll trailer. Easy to load rods. The rods are locked into place but reels are still somewhat vulnerable to theft if someone is really inclined to go after them. Therefore, when I'm using this, I don't leave my car and trailer anywhere I can't keep an eye on it.
