I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

YAKIMA DoubleHaul Fly Rod Carrier

YAKIMA DoubleHaul Fly Rod Carrier

Description

Like the perfect cast, the deluxe DoubleHaul™ rooftop fly rod carrier gets you to that special spot on the water at dawn or that early evening hatch. You’re there and ready with the perfect set-up— up to 4 fully strung-up rods up to 10 ft. long. Rain or shine, your rods are securely locked and protected from the elements. The reel box is designed to protect and fit most reel sizes, with space to carry up to 2 spey rods. To make things even easier, the DoubleHaul mounts to most roof racks with a simple, tool-free universal crossbar attachment. With modern styling and an optional half-length configuration, it’s a perfect fit on any size vehicle. Be ready to hit the water when the fish are biting.

Customizable rooftop carrier: The deluxe DoubleHaul rooftop fly rod carrier can be configured to 11 or 6 feet, depending on your needs.

Your fishing buddy: Transports 4 fully strung-up fly rods up to 10 feet long; The top 2 reel slots fit most 12-weight reels and the bottom 2 reel slots fit most 10-weight reels.

Kind to gear: Plastic-lined aluminum rod tubes provide strength and separation, helping prevent abrasion; Side placement of reels reduces wear on rod-stripping guides and eyelets.

Highly compatible: Universal mounting hardware fits all Yakima crossbars and most other roof racks; Add the SmarT-Slot Kit 3 to attach to a T-slot crossbar for an even sleeker profile (sold separately).

Single Key System: Included Yakima SKS (Single Key System) locks secure rods inside DoubleHaul and lock DoubleHaul to roof rack.

To install on a Toyota Sequoia how much space is needed between the crossbars? I want to still be able to open the rear door

Mine is on a 4Runner. Should be fine on a Sequoia

The description says the unit can be configured for 11 feet. Can this unit accept rods longer than 10 feet? I have a 10 foot six inch fly rod.

10 foot is the longest rod it will hold.

Would this work with more than just fly rod setups?

Probably not

Can the placement on your vehicle be moved forward and back? The crossbars on my Toyota Highlander are fixed in place, need to be able to open hatch.

Yes, dennio, the placement can be adjusted. However, I didn't keep this product because I did lose access to my hatch. I think you will have the same problem unless your hatch opens to the side. I couldn't move the Double Haul forward far enough to clear the hatch and still have it securely mounted. It would be better for a long bed pick-up truck with an extended roofline, and more support, for example. I hope that helps.
