I also place my toilet tent and shower tent there too. Bloody handy spot.

grab some 4" pvc cap one end and glue a screw cap to the other, voila instant rod holder,
you can even make them lockable. Use long hose clamps or very big cable ties to hold in place.
safe dustproof, can fit heaps of rods

Your not keen on bull bar or roof rack mounts??

Not really keen on bullbar mounts for long distances and I don't really want the reels and rod coping that much sand and weather damage on the front of the car 24/7 for over a month.

Roof rack? Arb basket mounted on gutter. As said above jack on one side and awning on the other.

No room inside the car
No room inside the camper because of no storage.
Don't "WANT" the PVC pipe option to be the only one because i want to save time rigging the rods every time it want to use them

6"5 flick rod

I like that Thule castaway box but not sure on the practicality of it with the basket on the roof and taking up precious basket room although I'm sure I'd fit stuff under the rods.

Is it possible to mount anything on top of your camper? then you could just remove them before setting up the camper.

Put the butts between the roof and cargo barrier , and make a bracket fit to the cabin light screw holes to support the tips , saw it in a fishing msg once,

I was thinking if you could remove a corner of ya barrier, and make 2 slings. Or cradles which hang Off your roof handles. One on the rear handles and one on the middle door handles..

Not at this stage but once I get it back after the warranty claim I'll look at putting a couple of hooks to ratchet some pelican cases on but I don't want to much because at this stage I can pull up and be in bed within 2-3 minutes and don't want to extend that lol

Put your rods in a PVC tube and pack it with foam dust proof to boot.
Shite years ago when I went rock fishing with dad down Phillip Island way

He's already said tubes are no good as he wants to keep the reels on
25th January 2014, 11:48 AM
threedogs

you can buy zip up rod hold carriers that allow you to keep your reel on,
If he poked some foam rubber down the pvc his rods wont bounce especially if they are in their bags
Google would be his friend but they wouldn't be cheap,
Better still take telescopic rods they collapse to nothing and come in different sizes

Cable tie them to your high lift jack mate. You generally won't be using that. I bet you use your fishing rods more than the highlift. If you have to carry the high lift you might as well make it useful.

How I carry my 6'10 bait caster.

Similar to how I explained before.
Once my roof rack is on I'll get some of those clamps.. But I don't carry them full time..

Cheers Westy now I completely understand.

What does everyone think about the Thule carrier I linked? Any problems with it you can foresee?

Cheers Warwick

Edit: don't worry about the Thule castaway it's discontinued

12' beach rod for tailor ?
If so rig your line with a swivel that can pass thru your rod tip. Use & make up some traces with snap swivels for fast rigging up & changes.
This will allow you to remove your reel, stow it out of all harms way with your fishing tackle ( you still have to get the tackle box etc out of the car When fishing )
It wii take only a minute to attach the reel & rig up !
Carry your rod on the roof & travel with it mounted butt fiorward to avoid broken rod tips.

A rod without a reel mounted is much easier to accommodate IMO YMMV
