Default Fly Rod Holder

Has anyone installed a fly rod box on their 110? Mine's not coming until February at this point so planning out how I want the top laid out. Ideally I'd like a four rod holder on one side then a 1/2 expedition style rack on the other, but not seeing anyone who has the products to make that happen. Any input appreciated, cheers.

2022 (I hope) 110 X-HSE Silicon/Black

I use the Riversmith 2-Banger Extended rod holder and mount it directly onto the expedition roof rack. I've probably used it around 15 times on 500+ mile trips and it's done great with no issues.

Good to know, no issues attaching to the rack? I've seen some people say the Thule rod holder works well. I kind of like the Yakima, but not sure how well it will connect. Thanks

Depends on the length of your rods. Riversmith is the only one that accommodate 10' - 11' in length rods (for euro nymphing, etc.). The attachment is good, the bottom bracket is on a slight slant because of the expedition racks cross bars but the top bracket and the rod holder itself sit level.

I have a Denver outfitters 3 rod holder. I believe that they were sold to Thule in the last year or so. It looks identical to the one in the first photo on the silver 110. It has worked well, no complaints!!
