Good idea too was actually planning on getting the Old Town Predator MX. Have to wait to see one in person before I pull the trigger but I don't know if there's any way to put rods in the yak itself. Lol guess i'll just save the box for bank fishing

Awe guess no one likes my set up lol My m3 doesn't have a ski pass because I don't have the cold weather package but it was an option for the body style. I used to have to lay the rear seats down and either put them at an angle (touching door jam) or between the front seats (elbow moves forwards and backwards when shifting gears). Both positions could possibly break the rod tip. Just to let y'all know the rod holder is a lockable thule fishing rod box. In the picture I only have it sitting ontop of the rack to see how it fit. If I were actually transporting it the accessory would be secured and also I have rod bags to cover the rods. All my fishing is done quite local so it won't spend a lot of time up there. I also plan on getting a kayak to put next to the box lol People ask why do this on a M3 and not buy another vehicle. I say why not. I bought a car to drive and use what's saying I can't have a little bit of fun with it. Btw the rods pictures is a st.croix legend elite with a stradic ci4+ 3000. And the other is an avid with a quantum smoke.

ALAS! I've done it!

Wow no one is a fan of ML rods? Over the years I've slowly moved down from MH rods to ML. I mainly fish everything from senkos, rooster tails, to rattle traps. My current set up is 6.6ft MLF St.Croix Legend Elite 3000/ stradic ci4+ with 20lb PP (gonna put 10lb PP soon)

Thanks for the response! call me an odd ball but I plan on putting my rod on my M3. It will fit in my cabin but its a hassle making sure the rod doesn't move around to get snapped off by the door (rod has to be placed in at an angle and the tip gets really close to the door). When running down the towards the center console, bumping the rod with my elbow while shifting seems to be an issue. I have a roof rack and plan on getting the thule castaway rod carrier and just wasn't sure about which way and why to face the rods. So my rod will be open and uncovered with the reels in a locked box. That's :1 covered tip forward 2 tips pointed rearward Would there be a lot of turbulence and whipping to where I have to worry about my rod tips when facing the tips rearward?

I'm new here and I couldn't find a specific spot to post this question but if I am in the wrong section will the mods please move this thread? thanks ahead of time. I've tried looking up pictures of rods mounted to the roof a vehicle and I've seen them mounted at an angle with the tip rearward, tip forward, tip rearward, and vertical (front or rear bumpers). I just want to make sure I'm doing it safely and securely. When transporting fishing rods on top of a vehicle, does it matter which way the rod tip faces? tip forward or tip rear ward? I wouldn't want to snap my rod from excessive whipping or a chance that debris would ruin the tip of my rod. Thanks!
