RodMounts Sumo Magnet Rod Carrier

Travelling down the beach in 25+ mph winds I was worried about the magnet letting go. It didn't happen. I only mounted 4 rods, but did test to see if I could put 3 fly rods per side, and the answer is yes, if you stagger the reels. The bungie design that holds the rods is so easy to release that I was able to grab the rod I wanted and release it, fully assembled, with no effort. After a full weekend on the beach, the outer 1-1/4" split ring started rusting out. I've ordered replacement stainless steel rings, and don't see this as a "show stopper"

Worst product i ever bought. I got lucky when i went fishing and it didn't fly off my car at highway speeds (75 mph). Not so lucky on the way back home. Flew off at 50 mph along with my fishing rods and left a nice big scratch on the roof of my car. The box should have a 45mph warning on it. The box i received it in didnt come with instructions. And no where on the outside of the box did i read a 45mph limit when using the product. I called the rod mount company and thats when i found out that there was a 45mph limit on this product. Ordered july 2015 Destroyed by jeep behind me july 2015

Our guide had these so we had to have this carrier. We only use one since we have a truck. Serves it purpose and keeps piles from bouncing around.

My car has a fiberglass hood and front quarter panel.Just used the roof. Had to turn the rear carrier 90 degrees but wasn't an issue with this design. Handled a back road 70 mph with aplomb.

They seem to be working fine

THE SPEED LIMIT OF THIS MOUNT IS 45 MPH THE SUCTION MOUNT IS FOR OVER 45 MPH. CHECK OUT THEIR WEB SITE FOR PROS AND CONS OF BOTH MOUNTING SYSTEM. HOPES THIS HELPS.

Rod Mount worked well until it flew off my truck at 70 mph. When I read warrantee it states do not drive over 45mph. During purchasing to find this information you need to open another box. I was offered 50% off replacement parts (I suppose that is fair as I exceeded the 45 mph). Just know that they will not warrantee rack if you exceed 45 mph. The $2,000 damage to fly rods was not their problem.
