I want to use this to secure my fishing rods to the roof. Will this work?

Yes many people carry rods with this product just face them backwards so the tips do not bend.

Absolutely. Yakima states that right in a manual I found online, when I was looking this up last year. Have fun!

Yes, this should work for items like fishing rods. Mount them with the reel facing forward.

While it is not designed to carry fishing poles, many do. I would put the rod tips to the rear of the vehicle to prevent the wind from bending them back.

Stacey,This carrier will work for your rods. This is a common application for this type of carrier. Hope this helps.Rack Attack Boston

As this product is not intended to carry fishing rods, we cannot guarantee it will work or not damage the rods. I will say however, I've seen it done.

i have the same set up as the picture.. if you have a thinner rod to place the mount, you will need to put something thicker to ensure that the mount will hold on your balcony rod.

I hung it from my ceiling and it worked fine. The rod wasn't long enough for me but I bought a longer one from the hardware store to get it further from the ceiling.

I don't see why it would not work on a metal roof, with the possible exception that there is probably less friction between the hook and the metal roof, so in the rare event that the hook somehow got jostled up it could be more prone to slipping off the roof peak. Also, the wheels tend to want to run off sideways as you are pushing the ladder up to the peak on its wheels, unless you are pushing absolutely straight up. This little problem could be greater on a metal roof. (Or less if the roof has vertical ridges in it.)

It will work just fine! Keep in mind what you are fishing for and always balance your rod/reel with each other...

I think the lift itself would work for holding a rooftop cargo carrier. The straps may be too short to go around the carrier, but if they are, buy longer ones at a hardware store. Good luck!

Yes most definitely! I ran several fasteners into some wood to test it out before working on my metal roof and it functioned well. The screws for metal roofing go into wood anyways:-)

I don't know how strong the mount is, but a backing and thru bolt would work. I mounted two of them for a BBQ, one on each side of my boat, in addition to fishing. Wayne

Yes if u have a rod with the same screw style, this would be a GREAT product for that!!

I have used two of these on a metal "A" frame roof with no problem. As I was 30 feet in the air, I did tie a rope (600#) capacity to the end of the ladder and secured it to a heavy object on the other side of the "A" Frame. Also used a safety Belt.

Yes that's what we have. You have to reinforce the connections at the top of the pole. Bungee cords work grest

I certainly can't say for sure; however, I used it this summer to attach a copper lighting rod bracket to a rubberized roof and it has held quite well in very hot weather and lots of rain. I don't know how it handles weight in a heat situation.

I don't know your exact application I mounted it on my Gator front rack with no problem to hold my gun, fishing rod or walking sticks ; what ever I have put there.

It would, measure the width of the roof, and see if the bar is small enough to fit.But this bar is a stick bar, and if it is not flat on all four edges, it wont stick all the way. I had to lock it in place with my snowboard rack so it doesnt fly away.Also if there is any curve on the roof of your rig, it wont fit correctly. Hope it helps

This pole is not intended for that purpose. This pole would bend too easily to depend on it as or with a safety hook. There are devices from the same supplier that are intended and designed as safety/shepherds hooks.

It will work but its better with a rod type adapter so you don't lose it when travelling. good luck fishing

Only if you could secure rods so it won't fall down. It's not very sturdy on it's own.
