With 10 1/2' poles in the rack the max height is just under 10' & I haven't hit any low bridges

When we don't have the camper on we bungee the fish cooler up near the cab. We have some old PVC rod holders mounted to a piece of oak and an old wall mount rod rack velcroed to the tailgate.
We bungee the pvc holder to the cooler.
They lay straight across the the top of the tailgate.
The only problem we ever have with it is forgetting that a few feet of rod hang off the back and I think I have walked into them about 100 times.
Thank God for bungee cords!

I screwed one of those things to the tailgate and lay the rod in the bed and clip the skinny end of the shaft in so it doesn't slid around or get scratched. works fine for me, and cheap.

LOL! We had them screwed onto the roof rack of our Explorer for 10 years. We are still using them on the tailgate of the pick up.
We have the ones with the screw lock.
Cheapest rod racks around

Ski racks...work fine for me for both sports.
