Will The Trxstle CRC Rooftop Fly Rod Carrier Work in Conjunction With A Thule Force XT L Cargo Box?

Question:

I have a 2020 Subaru Outback Onyx XT with the factory rails. I currently have a Thule Force XT L mounted on the center of the roof on the factory roof rack. Would there be room for this if I slid the Thule cargo box over slightly to the side? Thanks

I don't see why you couldn't. The Trxstle CRC System Rooftop Fly Rod Carrier # TRX57FR is relatively compact and lightweight so it won't take up much room

The only thing you'd want to verify is that:

A. You have enough space on your roof for both of these (the reel housing measures 7-1/4" wide), and B. that you don't overload your roof's capacity.

Seeing as though you're carrying fly rods and probably some other miscellaneous fishing gear, you should be just fine but it's just something to be aware of.
