Quick take
A roof-mounted rod carrier using suction cups to hold fishing rods on cars and trucks.
The Sumo is a roof-top rod carrier from Rodmounts that holds rods outside a car or truck using four lever-lock suction mounts. Ball-and-socket joints and pivots let you angle it to your vehicle and keep the rods level, and double straps hold them in place. It weighs about 2.65 pounds and comes apart for carrying, which suits anglers who want rods out of the cabin.
