The Yakima TopWater, your ultimate rooftop fishing rod box designed to keep you ready to hit the water whenever the fish are biting. This purpose-built, enclosed box allows you to carry up to 8 fully rigged fishing rods of any style, measuring up to 2.5 meters long. With a convenient side opening, accessing your rigged-up rods is a breeze, keeping them organized and out of your vehicle while you're on the go.

The TopWater features protective foam pads and rubber retention straps to keep your rods and reels safely suspended in place, preventing damage and entanglement. Below the rods, there's ample space for low-profile tackle boxes or other wet gear, ensuring you have everything you need for a successful day of fishing. Small drain holes help prevent water from pooling in the bottom of the box, while built-in rod shields protect rod tips from damage during transport.

For added versatility, the TopWater includes removable rod holders, allowing you to transport skis and other long gear in all seasons. Made in the USA with a sleek, aerodynamic Carbonite-textured lid, this fishing rod box is both strong and rugged, ready to withstand the demands of your outdoor adventures. Universal mounting hardware fits all Yakima crossbars and most other roof racks, and you can even add the SmarT-Slot Kit 5 (sold separately) to attach to a T-slot crossbar for an even sleeker profile.

For security and peace of mind, the TopWater comes equipped with a Yakima SKS lock, securing your rods inside the box and locking the TopWater to your roof rack. With the Yakima TopWater, you'll always be prepared to chase the big one, wherever your fishing adventures take you. Made in the USA, it's the ultimate companion for anglers on the move.
