Low Profile Rod Transportation System
$190.00
Low profile fishing rod roof rack system for clearance-sensitive vehicles. Holds up to 4 rods securely at highway speed. Fits most OEM and aftermarket crossbars.
The Low Profile fishing rod roof rack system is the right choice when height matters. Whether you’re dealing with a garage clearance issue, a lower roofline, or you simply want a cleaner, more compact setup on the roof, this system keeps your rods lower and closer to the vehicle while still holding them securely at highway speed.
Low Profile Rod Rack — Designed for Clearance-Sensitive Setups
Unlike vertical upright systems, the Low Profile holder positions reels downward, reducing the overall height of the loaded rack. This makes it ideal for SUVs and crossovers with lower rooflines, vehicles parked in garages with limited clearance, and anglers who prefer a lower visual profile on the road.
It fits factory OEM roof racks and the majority of aftermarket crossbar systems. Customers use it on vehicles including Subaru Outbacks, Dodge Durangos, and a wide range of crossovers and SUVs with OEM rack systems.
Best for Spinning Outfits and Lighter Rigs
The Low Profile system is optimized for medium spinning outfits. If you fish with baitcasters, conventional reels, or fly outfits, the Up-Right fishing rod roof rack system is the better fit — it’s designed specifically for those reel types.

I’ve been looking for a fishing rod mounting system to put on top of my Durango for months. Last season I snapped 3 rid tips with closing windows, hooked my leather seat and heard complaints from my car guests about fishing rods in the way. I just installed the 4 rod holder and love it. It took 5 minutes to install. I just ordered another set so I can mount 8 fishing rods. Now just need a way to lock the reel in the rod. Thank you GearRak.

Ripped a hole in the seat of my vehicle and that was enough. A great product and has so far been an awesome way to transport my rods all rigged up.
