The Thule SnowPack Extender Ski and Snowboard Carrier, part # TH7326, will work with the factory crossbars on your 2013 Ford Escape.

I called my contact at Thule and asked about carrying fishing poles with the carrier. They told me that as long as the items you carry in the carrier are all the same depth and you are not able to slide the items around when the carrier arm is closed on the items, it may work well for you. They could not say if it would definitely work since they have not tested it for fishing poles.
