    Are there any manufacturers making overhead fishing rod holders for ceiling of the 5th Gen 4R's?

    Just to update, I went with the Littlemole made 4 rod holder. I am very satisfied with the way it holds the rods/reels. I did ziptie the rear holder to the coat hanger hooks in the back of the 4R. Works perfect.

    Do you guys have any idea what the max length is you can put in these holders? I have some walleye trolling rods that might work perfect for instead of leaving this long rods in floor of my boat.

    I have a 7' spinning rod in my Littlemole rod holder as we speak. The tip is in between the 2 front seats, about a foot from the dash. I put the longest 2 rods in the center of the bar holders, then the shorter rods go on the outer rod holders.

    Thanks guys. I think I need about 7 feet for my trolling rods when they are collapsed( they are not two piece). I have these heavier trolling reels also. Does anyone have larger reels?

    My boat is older and does not really have a quote rod locker to hold these. So I usually trailer with the rods on the floor in center of boat. But they bounce around and it’s always a challenge to get it in first time to remove them without stepping on them. I have rod holders on the boat but I cannot trailer with them 7ft high in the air ok the freeway

    Thanks yeah your bait cast reels are probably more in line with the weight of my trolling reels. I probably need something like have for the extra weight. I’ll have to go out and check it out when this polar vortex passes.
