Magnetic rod rack for steel vehicles that keeps your rods rigged, secure, and ready to fish between every stop.The Rodmounts Sumo Magnet Rod Mount Carrier is built for anglers who want to move quickly between spots without breaking down their rods. Instead of stuffing rods in the cab or threading guides at every access, you mount them outside the vehicle and stay ready to fish.
Sumo Magnet uses powerful magnetic bases that adhere to steel hoods and roofs. Magnets are less sensitive to cold, dust, and moisture on the vehicle's surface and work well in very cold temperatures, making this version a smart choice for winter and foul-weather use at moderate speeds. For best adhesion, magnets need relatively flat, clean steel surfaces - check your hood and roof with a fridge magnet to confirm compatibility.
Rods rest in padded cradles and are held in place with double security straps that apply firm yet gentle pressure to prevent side movement and bouncing. Foam pads protect rod blanks and guides, while pull rings and retention notches help keep everything locked in during the drive.
Sumo is lightweight, breaks down quickly, and packs easily into your rig or luggage, making it great for road trips, shuttles, and travel. Magnet mounts can also be swapped with optional suction mounts (sold separately), so you can mix and match magnet and suction bases to best match your vehicle, conditions, and driving style.
If you want an outside-the-vehicle rod carrier that works on steel roofs and hoods, installs without tools, and keeps your setups rigged and ready to fish, the Rodmounts Sumo Magnet Rod Mount Carrier is a clean, convenient solution.
