I have always had an SUV to fish out of but I wanted to pass on what has worked for me as far as transporting 1 piece rods.

13 years ago I bought a set of Yakima ski rack for a 92 Blazer. They are lockable and have rubber facing in the racks. I have used them on 6 or 7 different trucks and they still work fine. You can lock the reel seat down under the rack and the Allen bolts that holds the racks on the truck are under the rubber which is locked. The only way someone could steal the rods is by cutting the bolts.
I don't know what they cost now but in 92 they were $100. Many times I have had 6 rods on the roof when 3 of us went to the Cape or the Block and there was plenty of room for even big 706Zs or VS 250s.

No boat, back in the suds.
