• Fishing Rod Carriers With Lifters For Extra Clearance For Larger Reel Rods
  The Yakima ReelDeal # Y04089 is the only rod holder that has the lifter brackets # Y8860037 to lift the carrier to gain extra clearance. You could get the Yakima FatCat # Y03095 which has lifter brackets built in. This is marketed towards ski and snowboards but can be used with fishing rods too.

• What Difference Between Yakima FatCat Evo and Freshtrack Ski Carriers
  The FatCat Evo Yakima ski carrier part # Y03095 is considered to be the premium option over the Freshtrack part # Y03092. One difference is that the Evo has a more aerodynamic shape which will create less wind noise and minimize fuel mileage loss. The mounting hardware that attaches the carrier to the load bars is also a little nicer with the Evo as it uses a metal rubber coated strap that wraps around instead of a claw with a t-bolt like the Freshtrack.

• Is There a Way to Adapt a Discontinued Thule 575 Snowboard Carrier to Yakima CoreBars
  I have a solution for you, but it depends on the construction of your Thule 575 Snowboard Carrier (which has been discontinued). If the mounting adapters for the load bars are riveted on (which is common for that type of carrier) then there is not a way to change out the hardware to be used with the Yakima CoreBars. You would need to get a new carrier like the Yakima FatCat EVO 4 Ski and Snowboard Carrier # Y03095 which would work with the CoreBars and most other roof rack styles. If...

• Ski Rack and Roof Rack Recommendations for a 2018 Subaru Legacy
  How you transport is really up to you. Your 2018 Subaru Legacy is still extremely new, so fits are being added all the time, and Subarus have a reputation for being incredibly flexible. If you want to go with the full rack, or have other possible items to carry like bikes, kayaks or cargo, I recommend using a Yakima roof rack system. This has the added benefit of letting you use a wide variety of accessories and adds a more rough and tumble look to the car. To add this kit to your vehicle,...

• Ski Carrier with Rola Roof Rack on a 2012 Mazda 3
  The Rola crossbars 59832 mount into the fixed mounting points on the roof of your 2012 Mazda 3.

If you only need to carry 4 pairs of skis use part # Y03095. An...

• Will Tall Bindings Hit the Roof Using the Yakima FatCat Ski Carrier on a 2008 Acura MDX
  The bindings will not be an issue when using the Yakima FatCat # Y03095. It has integrated SkiLift brackets. The brackets unlatch from the bottom of the rack and extend, creating extra space between the FatCat and the mount bracket on the hinged end of the carrier. This is a real advantage when you're carrying several snowboards or skis and one of them must be carried with the bindings facing the vehicle's roof.

• Ski and Snowboard Rack for a 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon with Factory Crossbars
  I have a solution for you, but unfortunately the Thule SnowPack, part # TH7324 is not a confirmed fit for the factory bars on a 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon according to Thule. The speed link system may be able to reach around and give a fit, but we haven't had the ability to directly confirm this in house. Instead, I recommend the extremely similar Yakima FatCat EVO4, part # Y03095. This offers similar locking and adjustable height features as the SnowPack, and Yakima does confirm this...
