Product description

Modern styling with outstanding protection for your fishing gear

Secure and protective fly rod transportation

The Thule RodVault 2 is the ultimate solution for anglers seeking a secure and protective way to transport their fully rigged fishing rods. Designed with the passionate fly fisherman in mind, this durable rod holder accommodates up to two rods, including larger rods with 12-weight reels. The lockable, weather-resistant design keeps your expensive equipment safe while freeing up interior space in your vehicle. Whether you're exploring freshwater streams or coastal waters, the Thule RodVault 2 ensures your gear arrives safely and ready for action.

Built for performance and convenience

Constructed from high-quality, corrosion-resistant aluminum, the Thule RodVault 2 is built to withstand harsh environments and rough conditions. Its large rod openings (46mm) make it easy to feed your rods through without damaging delicate equipment, while the spring-loaded, self-opening reel box allows for quick and easy access to your tackle. This innovative rod carrier is designed with a sleek aerodynamic profile to reduce wind resistance and noise during travel, ensuring a smooth and quiet ride.

The Thule RodVault 2 is easy to install and remove thanks to the included SpeedLink mounting hardware, which allows for tool-free installation on most roof rack systems. With a padded reel box and soft-touch internal brushes, your rods are protected from both external elements and internal friction during transit. Plus, with the optional two-rod extension accessory, you can carry rods up to 12 feet in length, making this the perfect rod holder for any fishing adventure.
