Are you plannin on carrying ten ft rods from say B-water to Like the Cape or somethin standin straight up? That sounds a little risky since locally there are branches that are less than 10 feet above the road. May end up snappin em off. Down the Cape and even in RI, once I get there the rods come off the roof racks and go on the front rack and stay there. I do a lot of moving from spot to spot (P-town to Orleans/ Pt. Judith to Watch Hill, back and forth) and never have had a problem yet (knock on wood). I'm not too worried about low branches as I feel that there are enough other people drivin around in those areas with rods that I hope they have already found all the low branches before me. If they're on the front, you can keep an eye on em and not be worried about gettin to the next spot to find either by some act of god bounced out or that someone grabbed it off the back at a light.
To me it makes more sense to put it on the front in view, especially if you have a hatch back that you may want to get into.
