The SUMO Suction Mount Rod Carrier is an excellent gadget to carry your fishing poles on the exterior of your vehicle or car.

• SUMO can transport up to 6 rods of all types.
• Staggering or offsetting the rods so the reels don’t interfere with each other provides more space.

Four independent lever-lock suction mounts adhere to glass, aluminum, steel, plastic, fiberglass and carbon-fiber.

Suction mounts can adhere to any smooth and non-porous surface. Most cars have steel body panels, however there is an increase in the use of aluminum, plastic, fiberglass and carbon fiber. Suction mounts work great on windshields and sunroofs. You can check your car with a refrigerator magnet.

• Suction mounts feature a lever-lock mechanism that creates suction force when activated.
• Suction mounts can adhere to slightly curved surfaces found on most cars.
• Windshield mounting allows for easy use without standing on the doorsill to reach the roof.

Adaptability and Leveling

Ball and socket connections and vertical pivots provide unequaled flexibility to mount to any passenger vehicle. An additional ball and socket connection in the rod rest allows rods to always be level.

SUMO’s unique ball and socket connections provide unsurpassed mounting capabilities. Ball and sockets allow SUMO to mount to more cars in more places than any other product in its category.

• Ball and sockets allow SUMO to be postioned out of the line of direct sight for driver and passengers – you can see where you’re going.
• The ability to mount SUMO close to the edge means easier use – you won’t have to lean way over or stand on your toes.
• Windshield mounting is possible as the connections can accommodate the steep angle – really great for Jeep Wranglers.
• Windshield mounting also allows for easy use without standing on the doorsill to reach the roof.
• The connection at the rod rest adjusts so your rods are level and maximum contact for support of your rods.

Rod Security

Double security straps that “lock” your rods into place.

Double straps maintain firm yet gentle pressure on your rods – cushioned by the foam pads – preventing side movement. Pull-rings engage with retention notches to keep your rods firmly in place.

Portability

Lightweight and disassembles quickly for easy transport.

Another cool feature – SUMO can break down for easy transport and storage. Take SUMO on your next fishing adventure and spend more time fishing and less time rigging up and breaking down your rods.

Interchangeability

Suction Mounts can be interchanged with Magnet Mounts for cars with steel hoods and roofs. Magnet Mounts are sold separately.

Another exclusive of SUMO is the ability to use any combination of suction or magnet mounts. To switch out the mounts, remove the bolt, insert mount and replace bolt.

There are advantages to both suction and magnet dependent on a few variables.
