Maximize Your Storage Space
Get your fishing rods out of the back of your vehicle and free up space for friends and other gear. The Yakima ReelDeal is capable of holding 8 fishing poles up to 7' long. If your poles are over 7' long, you can still carry them, but you'll have to break them down first.
During the winter months, the ReelDeal doubles as a ski and snowboard carrier, so you can leave it installed year-round. When used in this capacity the carrier can hold 4 pairs of skis or 2 snowboards.
Soft Rubber Padding for Safe Transport
The arms on the ReelDeal have sturdy yet flexible rubber grips. The rubber lines the top and bottom of the arms and protects your gear from being scratched or scuffed by the carrier.
Quick and Easy Access
A large push button on the side of each unit makes it easy to open the carrier. The spring-loaded arms pop open once the button is engaged and remain elevated while you're loading your rods. When you're ready to head out, just push the arm down until it snaps into place.
Built-In Security
With Yakima's built-in security, you won't have to worry about your rods being tampered with if you make a pit stop on the way to the lake. The ReelDeal comes equipped with Yakima SKS lock cores that secure your rods in the carrier. Additionally, the mounting clamps have security screws that require a security wrench to remove. This means you can rest assured that a would-be thief won't walk off with your rods or the carrier. If you have other Yakima products and want everything keyed-alike, you can swap out the lock cores (sold separately) to match.
Adjustable Clamp-On Installation
Before mounting the carrier to your roof rack, adjust the clamps and choose the appropriate slot for your crossbars. These slots can be found on the hinge side of the clamp. For most aero bars and round bars, you'll want to use the #2 slot. For most heavy duty (HD) bars you'll want to use the #3 slot. For factory bars try each slot and adjust until you find perfect fit for your crossbars.
After adjusting your clamps, mount the carriers to your roof rack, close the clamps around your crossbar, then turn the over-sized knobs on the T-bolts to tighten the clamps. Once you've tightened the T-bolts, use the provided Allen wrench to tighten the security screw. Check that your install is secure by pushing and pulling on the carriers and tighten if needed.

Excellent product. It frees up so much room in your car or SUV. No need to put the rear seats down. Less chance for entanglement and damage to rods and reels. Note the Malone Micro-Sport trailer in the picture. Another great etrailer purchase. Still awesome after 2 years
by: Gary05/31/2023
ReelDeal roof rod carrier. Wow another super product from etrailer installed works great.
by: Henry 02/10/2024
Well built, but it should have rubber plugs to stop noise.
by: Mike 08/28/2023
Great service and fast shipping from etrailer. My only issue with the product is that it only fits 4 of my large offshore Shimano Terez poles with Shimano SW25000 reels aternating them facing forward and backward. Product was easy to install and holds the 4 rods/reels tightly. Fortunately, the carrier is small enough that I can fit two of them side by side on my roof rack so I will order a second one to accomodate all 8 pf my rods/reels.

Serves the purpose. E-Trailer is super b.

It's a ski rack that works with flyrods. Works great!
by: Daniel09/07/2023
The shipping from etrailer was super fast! The roof rack fishing rod
Holder worked great on my trip from Pennsylvania to key west and back!
by: Nancy 09/15/2023
Excellent customer service! Fit easily on the roof rack. We will be trying the rack out next week.
by: Joseph03/31/2024
Seems sturdy enough, however, the mounting hardware is bulky looking which takes away from it. There is no option for T-Slot mounting like the Rhino-Rack product which is also cheaper. If they made a T-Slot adapter kit like they do for their ski racks it would look sleeker and sit lower......Yakima, are you listening?
by: Carmen 04/03/2024
Shipped super fast, had a small issue with a part that was replaced and at my house in 2 days! Excellent customer service and professional business. Will buy from again.
by: Larry05/12/2023
The rack is excellent and will do exactly what I wanted, secure carrying of my surf rods to and from excursions.
What was not great was the condition of the shipment when it arrived… the box was really worn / open on the ends and taped up when it arrived (on time btw). I thought, rough trip, hopefully all ok, though this box looks used….
So, as I go to install on my rack what do I find? Instructions have clearly been handled, re-stapled and folded over to pages 2&3…. Hmmm. Then I look at the parts clearly handled, smudges and such. Then I discover that one of the bolts that secures the feet to the rack is missing, only 3 of 4 are in the package. The bolts were in a small ziplock pouch so no way they fell out in transit through one of the tears in the packaging…..
Conclusion, I was sent returned goods. I was not impressed but luckily my local hardware store had a comparable bolt. Installation has gone fine and I am in business.
Solid product from Yakima, questionable business from the supplier e-trailer….
by: Phil Baci09/10/2023
They seem to hold the rods in place. I test drove around at 70 miles per hour and they did not move. I used 2 surf rods that were broke down in two pieces and two 6 foot rods. The mounts that attach to your cross braces have plastic hinges. Only time will tell how well they hold up. Over all I think they will work well.
by: Gregg07/13/2020
All ready for the trip to Ocean City MD!! Rods are secure and ready to travel. Very quick install on the Yakima HD rails. Undo the t-bolt fully, move the pivot point to the furthest position, re insert the t-bolt and tighten slowly. Great combo with the Yakima Overhaul system; I now have room for all of our vacation essentials. Thank you Bridget and the team at etrailer; I needed it fast and you got it to me!
by: Chris09/08/2022
Very easy to install, and I was able to mount it to the upper deck of my homemade kayak trailer. Very secure, and it looks good!
by: Debra 06/05/2023
Etrailer was a pleasure to do business with! Super fast shipping!
The rod rack is just what we were looking for
by: Joe F08/01/2021
Order and shipping: first rate. The ordering was simple and secure, and the item shipped quickly.
Product Quality: Excellent. The rack was very simple to install on my roof cross bars. I tested it with my fishing rods and found it easy to secure and store rods. I like the locking mechanisms provided. I will recommend Etrailer and Yakima to anyone looking for quality service and products.

still working great. I use them all the time.
by: Chad09/23/2022
I dont know what to think yet because I literally received the package yesterday. Im sure it’s fine because it’s Yakima but I won’t know how I like it for at least a week or two. This should be considered when spamming my email for reviews.

This is my second set of ReelDeal rod carriers. They are fantastic and easy to use. etrailer did a great job getting them to me quickly and with the best prices.
by: David F05/18/2023
I think the way they attach to the bar could’ve been a little more streamlined like the old style with the round bar which I’ve had for years he still got the square a little holes on the side to make a mold for the square bar.
by: David 09/28/2023
Quality product and thrilled you had it in stock. Great price and even delivered it earlier than anticipated. Thank you.

Awesome product for the suv with the dogs in the car
by: Kyle 09/10/2022
This reel deal fishing rack is indeed the real deal. Its got heavy duty construction, spring loaded arms that stay up, nice side buttons with built in locks, the clamps are completely adjustable, the rubber is heavy duty but flexible.. I mean, when I assembled the pieces i was very impressed. Well done Yakima and thanks etrailer for getting it to Hawaii so quickly!! Plenty of things take 30+ days getting here… y’all did it in less than a week. Thanks for the great product and the great service!
by: Mauricio 07/22/2022
Every time I order from etrailer I am worried about the product fitting my vehicle. No worries. It always does. Just put in the vehicle you have in the search box and all will be good. The fishing rod / ski/ snowboard carrier is great. Designed well and easy to assemble. There is enough adaptability in the product that it would probably fit any vehicle's crossbars. Once built, it is easily removed and placed onto the vehicle. The videos that etrailer has on it's site are super helpful.
by: Checkmate4605/17/2021
Works well on my Yakima Rack & Roll trailer. Easy to load rods. The rods are locked into place but reels are still somewhat vulnerable to theft if someone is really inclined to go after them. Therefore, when I'm using this, I don't leave my car and trailer anywhere I can't keep an eye on it.

- Will the Yakima Reel Deal Fit on Square Cross BarsThe Yakima Reel Deal # Y04089 is designed to fit on your square bars, but there are some adjustments that need to be made to the mounting brackets to make them fit a little more snugly. I've linked a review video we did on the Reel Deal and at around the 7:30 mark of the video Colin talks about how you'll want to adjust your brackets to mount your Reel Deal to square bars. You won't need to purchase any additional parts to make this work.
view full answer... - Reel Deal Compatibility with Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier # Y04089The Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier # Y04089 would work with a rod that has a Reel Deal accessory installed on it. I am not totally sure what you mean by Texan Cross Rail though.

I have attached a product review and installation video below, please jump to about the 5 minute mark where it begins discussion of installation and type bars and the adjustments needed for each.
view full answer... - Can Surf Fishing Rods Be Carried in the Yakima ReelDeal Fishing Rod CarrierWhen using the Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier - Locking - 8 Fishing Poles # Y04089 you'll need to disassemble/separate any rods over 7 feet long. However, you won't have any issues with the thickness of the rods and your surf fishing rods will feet between the jaws of the ReelDeal without issue.

I confirmed this with Yakima for you. The ReelDeal is an excellent option to transport your fishing rods. It features a simple bolt-on install and has locks for security.
view full answer... - Why Do Rods Longer than 7 Feet Need to Get Broken Down with Yakima ReelDealHey Dave, the Yakima Rod Carrier part # Y04089 does require that rods longer than 7 feet need to get broken down. This is a cautionary statement due to the flex of rods on that forward clamp. Some rods may have too much flex from the headwinds and cause issues while driving.
view full answer... - Can I Install Yakima ReelDeal 2022 Subaru Outback XT With LockNLoad PlatformYes, you can install the Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier - Locking - 8 Fishing Poles, part # Y04089, in the channels of a LockNLoad Platform. You will need the Replacement T-Slot Mounting Hardware for Yakima FatCat and Whispbar Ski Carriers, part # 8860085. The existing clamping system of the ReelDeal must be removed to install the T-Slot hardware. I have included a product description link below.
view full answer... - Roof Rack Mounted Kayak Paddle Recommendation Kayak paddles are a little too thick to fit in the Yakima Carrier part # Y04089 so instead I would recommend you go with the Yakima TopGrip part # Y04086 which was designed for carrying paddles. It's a lot smaller so it would take up less room on your roof rack as well as store smaller too.
view full answer... - Yakima ReelDeal Dimension FitGlad you like the Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier # Y04089. This clamshell style has a thick rubber portion to conform around the rods and can be used for ski's and snow boars as well. The measurement from the top of this rubber piece to the bottom of the clamp that attaches/rests to roof rack is 3-1/4" this rubber piece is 1" in height before compression. Clearance from the roof of your 2021 Subaru Outback will be an additional 2-1/2" from the top of your current roof rack....
view full answer... - Questions on the Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod CarrierThe Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier, # Y04089 mounts directly above the crossbars of your vehicle. This means the cross bars determine the placement/spread between the two clamps. So when it is stated to break down rods longer than 7 feet, this is a cautionary statement due to the flex of rods on that forward clamp. Some rods may have too much flex fom the headwinds and cause issues while driving. The # Y04089 comes with needed mounting hardware that has adjustments available....
view full answer... - Can Yakima RealDeal be Installed on Yakima LoadWarrior Cargo BasketYou can definitely install the Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier # Y04089 to your Yakima LoadWarrior # Y07070, but you will need to get the Loadbar # 8870042 to have a bar at the front for the RealDeal to install on. Aside from that you are good to go!
view full answer... - Recommended Solution for Carrying Surf Fishing Rods on SUVI have a solution for you, but to my knowledge there is not a rear cargo carrier of that size available that you could use. If the rods come apart into 2 or more pieces, you might be able to use a hitch mounted cargo carrier like the Yakima Swinging Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Trailer Hitch # Y62VR. This carrier has 51-11/16" length of internal storage, so your rods would need to break down to less than that length in order for this to work. The best solution would be to add a roof...
view full answer... - Will The Yakima ReelDeal Fit On Thule WingBar Evo CrossbarsYes, the Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier - Locking - 8 Fishing Poles # Y04089 will mount to bars like the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 60" Long - Qty 2 # TH711520. This unit will work with round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars. The Thule WingBar Evo is considered an aero style cross bar. You will have no issues pairing them together.
view full answer... - Fishing Rod Carriers With Lifters For Extra Clearance For Larger Reel RodsThe Yakima ReelDeal # Y04089 is the only rod holder that has the lifter brackets # Y8860037 to lift the carrier to gain extra clearance. You could get the Yakima FatCat # Y03095 which has lifter brackets built in. This is marketed towards ski and snowboards but can be used with fishing rods too. Either of these options will give you the clearance you need.
view full answer... - Can Yakima ReelDeal Fishing Rod Carrier Mount in T-SlotsThe Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier - Locking - 8 Fishing Poles # Y04089 can only clamp around crossbars so it won't be able to install in the T-slots of your rack. There is an option for a carrier that installs in the T-slots with the Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier - Locking - 8 Fishing Rods # RR574F.

To determine if the carrier will work in your 2021 Subaru Outback you'll need a couple things; one is that your Outback needs to have grab handles above the rear seats. And you'll need to measure the distance between the grab handles (where they attach to your Subaru) and that distance needs to be between 35-1/2" and 47" apart...

The ReelDeal has been an great addition to my fishing arsenal. If and when I get a new vehicle I will be using this product even if it’s a truck. Note you might get a slight wind whistle at highway speeds. For me this happens when I have no rods in it. It’s very faint and isn’t bothersome IMO
