Hi David!

The Malone Striper-4 Fishing Rod Carrier # MAL26RR will definitely fit on their AirFlow2 roof rack. This will actually fit just about all round, square, aero, elliptical, and even most factory crossbars. It's very versatile.

What kind of poles are you wanting to carry? I've been wanting to try out some fly fishing, but haven't had the chance to yet. And pretty much all my gear is salt water oriented.

@DavidZ Nice! Did a lot of that when I lived in San Diego. Not so much now that I live in Missouri. : P This does say that anything over 8' would need to be broken down, but I think that is mostly due to the vehicle length. And with surf rods being so much beefier than others, you will probably be able to get away with it. Will probably want to put some red flags on them though, just in case. Speaking of which, what vehicle is your rack on?
