If you are transporting that stinky stuff you will want a basket to slide into a trailer hitch. That keeps the stink outside and makes the cleanup a lot simpler.
Also with your new job you will want 4 wheel drive. I have a wrangler and can store 4 - 10 ft rods inside ( two piece) and my long rods go on top in a locked rack. I do take the reels off when not on the prowel for fish.
