Vehicle rod rack?

[npauls]

I was just watching the video shawn posted about the steelhead family and was wondering how good those hood mounted rod racks work?

Would they be suitable for a couple hours of highway driving or are they just made to be used during low speed travel?

I am interested in maybe getting one next season for my fly rods and want to know if different brands are better then others and what kind of price range I am looking at.

No one has checked these things out?

Thanks Shawn,

I will be looking into getting one of those set ups over the winter.

don't go with the magnetic or vacuum type. they just don't stick and can come off even at low speed. your better off to make your own, not very hard to do.

even with bolt-on holders, any speed over 60km and you rod tips bang together.

there great for low speed but not hi-way.

They could be handy for short moves while stream fishing, but on the highway, the same bugs that end up on your windshield would have to pass through them first. I wouldn't want to be cleaning that off the rods and reels.
