Question:

Can the size of the rod carrier be adjusted while on the roof rack? I would want to make it smaller when I dont have rods in it.

Yes, you can collapse the Trxstle CRC System Rooftop Fly Rod Carrier # TRX57FR while it is attached to the roof rack.

To collapse this system, you're going to want to:

1. Start at the forwardmost aluminum section (furthest from the reel housing), depress button 2 and collapse the smallest aluminum section.

2. Next, depress button 3 and collapse the forward sections into the next largest aluminum section.

3. Then, depress button 4 and collapse all forward aluminum sections into the final largest aluminum section, and ensure that buttons 3 and 4 return to their original home position on top of the CRC System.

4. Finally, install the thumb screws on the three exposed buttons.

I have also included a step by step image for you to check out as well.

Fully collapsed, this system measures 44" long, and at its longest, measures 126" long.
