In order to mount a Yakima TopWater Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier - Locking - 8 Fishing Poles # Y04088 to a Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform like the # RR42114BF you'll need to use the SmarT-Slot Mounting Kit for Yakima TopWater Rooftop Fishing Pole Carrier # Y04094. This will allow you to mount the TopWater in the T-slot channels that are on the Pioneer platform.

You are also able to mount these directly to your factory crossbars without the Pioneer platform attached using the included hardware.

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…
