monger Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I tried to see if my Sage Rpl 5wt would fly if I drove fast enough with it on the roof of my vehicle on Sunday night in Sundance. If anyone hears of a misplaced rod that wants to come home please let me know. It is attached to an old Browning reel as well. Hopefully I am able to learn from the experience.

daxlarsen Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I did the same thing, last night i emptied my car after camping, I left my rod and reel on the roof. after an extra night under the stars, I actually managed to hear the rod slip off the roof of my car before i drove out of the parking lot and I was able to catch him before he got away lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigalcal Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 May I suggest.........................a magnetic rod holder that attaches to the side of your vehicle, http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/template...&hasJS=true I use it all the time and I always know where my rod is. I am sure I would have done the same by now without it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bchampion Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Is there a club I can join for this mistake? I did the same thing driving off from the upper Bow. Heard her roll across the back of my truck and I wondered "hmm...what was that? sounded like something fell of the top of my tr...! *hit!!

brownonbow Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Man, I thought I was the only one to do this. Sorry to hear of the loss, I did the same thing at policemans about 7 years ago with a temple fork. I also found a hardy(?) perfect reel at policemans that I managed to reunite with it's appreciative owner. I have since taken McLennans advice to heart and put my rod on the hood of my truck first thing when I get back to the truck and when I leave I cannot forget it.
