Fishing rod mounts on factory roof rails

[jackolero]

Is there any roof clamp/mount that you can use on factory rails to transport fishing rods without buying the crossbars? Searched the interwebs and find it surprising that it looks like no one has come up with a simple accessory that utilizes factory roof rails to transport fishing rods. Any recommendations?

I don't fish so forgive my ignorance about how rods are transported.

I have however seen people use PVC plumbing pipe with screw type ends lashed to the roof rack supports. Can't say what they have in there as I never risked messin with another mans vehicle.

I use ski racks for my surf rods but you will need the crossbars

Even as simple as this that clamps on either side of factory rails would be nice for quick fishing trips. Yakima and Thule should have one by now, I'm pretty sure it would sell like hotcakes.

DexTech: Trying to avoid buying the crossbars so I'd think that PVC's up top would mess with the paint if I just strap it on the siderails. I have a bike and cargo rack and already looking into rigging some PVC pipes mount that can be mounted on either racks.

Yes, a titan Rod Vault.

No, they are not cheap.

My in car solution. Bungees attached up tim front for support , then some old rope and S hooks attached to the trim. Holes are 1.75", works great and keeps those expensive rod and reels locked up tight!
