What Size Crossbars Will The Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier Y04089 Fit?
Updated 01/05/2026 | Published 09/08/2024
Question:
Hi Can you tell me if either the Yakima Reel Deal or the Rhino Rack for 8 fishing rods will fit on the crossbars that came with my 2013 Nissan Armada ? I know the clamps are supposedly universal, but I wanted to check first, just in case. Thanks, Mike

Hello Michael, thanks for getting in touch. The Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier # Y04089 will fit virtually any crossbar up to about 3-1/2" wide x 1-1/2" tall. We have yet to come across a crossbar it does not fit. The same goes for the Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier # RR574F. I am not sure of the exact dimensions of the crossbars on your Armada, but as long as they are no larger than 3-1/2" wide and 1-1/2" tall, you will be fine.
Between the two rod carriers you mentioned, personally I would go with the Yakima ReelDeal # Y04089. Yakima stuff tends to be better quality and more user friendly than Rhino Rack. Plus the Yakima has a lifetime warranty opposed to only a 5 year warranty on the Rhino.

Hey Michael, how did things go with the Yakima ReelDeal on your Armada’s crossbars? It’d be great to hear if the fit worked as expected. Your update could make it easier for the next person with the same setup.
