Introducing the Sumo suction mount rod carrier, the ultimate fly fishing accessory for anglers on the go. This innovative carrier securely mounts to any smooth surface, freeing up your hands and keeping your rods safe during transport. Made with durable materials and designed with convenience in mind, the Sumo suction mount rod carrier is a must-have for any serious fly fisherman. 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.
Want the most powerful adhesion? Suction mounts are the way to go. Suction Mounts produce much higher holding force than magnets!
There is no “better” system as both types have advantages and disadvantages. There is however a few factors that are important. You should consider how you are going to use the SUMO to help in making a decision:
- If you are going to drive above 45 mph then you want the suction mounts.
- If you are using the SUMO in really rainy conditions a lot and NOT going to drive above 45 mph AND you remove the SUMO from your vehicle when parked while fishing, magnets may be a better choice.
- SUMO suction and magnet mounts are interchangeable and sold separately so you can use any combination for best results.
