I have the perfect setup for you to get your fishing rods to your favorite fishing hole with your 2023 Toyota Tacoma.

I always recommend the Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells # Y02-480B when it comes to truck toppers because you get the nice quality of an aero-style crossbar as well as the adjustability for different loads you might need to transport. Then for a carrier I recommend one of the following:

- Yakima ReelDeal # Y04089
- Yakima TopWater # Y04088

The ReelDeal is great if you're a casual fisherman with entry-level rods since it leaves them exposed to the elements. If you have some higher-end fishing rods then the TopWater is the better choice since it keeps them completely enclosed and free from the elements.

I've attached some review videos of each of these products for you to check out!
