A reel box is attached to the proximal ends of the plurality of elongate tubes and defines an interior space that is continuous with an interior of each of the plurality of elongate tubes, and is configured to enclose a plurality of reels while they are attached to a corresponding plurality of fishing rods disposed within the plurality of elongate tubes. A clamping mechanism is configured to secure the fishing rod carrier to a rooftop rack of an auto.
