Rod-Box: The perfect solution for your rod transportation and security
Over the past decade, anglers across Europe have seen the benefits of using a roof mounted box to transport their rods. Before this, many rod holdalls lost from roof racks were run over by following vehicles. When carrying several hundred pounds worth of rods and equipment, roof boxes are a no-brainer!
from other long roof boxes? The Rod Box is nowhere near as wide
What makes the Rod-Box different
as most of the non-angling roof boxes. It has external measurements of 223cm long x 50cm wide x 34cm high and internal dimensions of 219cm long x 45cm wide x 32cm high. When empty, it weighs around 13 kilos, and is easy enough for most people to move about without any difficulty. The Rod-Box will fit virtually every available
set of roof bars on the market. After putting the Rod-Box on and off the car a couple of times, you will find that it takes just under five minutes to fit the box, lock the lid and then remove it again.
Quality and versatility.. The construction of the Rod-Box is of the
highest workmanship and quality. The material used is the same as that used for other roof boxes. The lid of the Rod-Box is textured, which helps with aerodynamics, whereas the base of the box is made from a slightly thicker material to take the weight of the contents. The arms to the lid are made from a thick plastic compound and all of the fittings are more than adequate in strength. The inside of the Rod-Box is where
‘designed for purpose’ is most obvious. Open the lid and you are presented with two upright brackets which have three recesses along the top edge. These brackets are for carrying rods in individual sleeves or with just rod bands holding them together. If you top and tail your rods, 6 made-up rods can be secured on these brackets, without the reels touching the base. To secure the rods to the brackets, there are 6 webbing straps with plastic clips which can be tightened easily by pulling on each end of the webbing. As the brackets have a large gap
underneath the upper bar, the angler can place items such as landing net heads, umbrella or unhooking mats underneath the rods to save the inside of the car becoming wet or smelly. As the Rod-Box has multiple fixing positions, the unused holes in the base allow for any water to drain out of the box. For the angler who prefers to use a
traditional rod holdall, the brackets are removable. Simply swivel the two locking levers on each bracket by 90 degrees
and the brackets can be removed. Once removed, you can fit two rod holdalls inside by top and tailing them.
Safety and security.. Because security is a big part of the Rod-
Box design, the locking mechanism is first class and the Rod-Box locks in three places. Controlled by a single key, a bar which
is located along the inside edge of the box operates three latches which correspond to the locking points located on the lid to secure the box completely. With the Rod-Box, there is no danger of leaving the box unlocked, as the key is not removable unless it is in the locked position. For extra safety, Rod-Box is supplied with
two keys, so one can be carried at all times and the other left somewhere safe. The only way that anyone can gain access to the Rod- Box without a key, is to create a lot of noise using heavy duty cutting tools... a deterrent in itself.
Quick, safe and simple.. Rod-Box can be quickly secured to wall
brackets as easily as it can on your car. Fixed to the wall of your garage or outbuilding, the Rod-Box provides instant security for rods and other valued items. The wall mounted bracket option is something that as well as making things much harder for thieves, it also protects the rods and holdalls against rodent damage which, stored in outbuildings, is always likely to occur. The Rod-Box can be bought direct from
the Rod-Box website at
