[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Thule RodVault 4-Rod is a well-designed, durable, and highly functional fly rod carrier that delivers excellent protection and convenience for serious anglers. Although its premium price may deter occasional fishermen, its secure locking system, rugged construction, ease of installation, and ability to transport fully rigged rods make it a standout product in the fly fishing accessory market. My testing showed stable performance and no noticeable impact on fuel economy, reinforcing its value as a practical long-term investment for anglers who spend substantial time on the water and desire secure storage of their prized rods and reels.
I've had a Gen 1 Rod Vault for 10-15 years with no issues. Saw the revised model and had to give it a try. So far I have been very happy with it. Things I love about the new model: Reels face up, internal stretch loops to secure the rod/reels better, padded reel area, larger reel/rod space for fighting butts, optional 2' extension for up to 12' rods, new matte black color. Things I don't love (none are deal breakers): Cant open it without the key like the gen 1, plastic on the reel area seems thin and cheaper compared to the original.
Absolutely love it. This rod carrier has worked great so far. Was easy to attached to the roof rack.
