I did a search for "fly rod" and didn't find any help so here's what I'm looking for: An easy way to mount 2-4 fly rods on the interior ceiling of my 100 series. Longest one is 9' so it will fit, although the tip will be down a little on the front windshield. I could just mount some stretch cord across the inside but was hoping someone with more insight/experience could offer a more elegant solution.
 
Look up rodmount. I just put it in yesterday. Works well.

This is how I transport my ham radio antennas when not on the truck
The foam is insulation used for water pipes it is a close fit inside the black ABS pipe. It cushions the contents, be it antennas or fly rods.

No reason they wouldn't work for fishing rods. It has been a while since I built one but I think it cost less than $10 out the door.
 
I don't think you'll find anything better than the Titan Rod Vault. Your rods stay rigged and ready to go.

Although, Shane has designed some incredible attachments for roof racks, I'd like to see him design a Lab Rak version of a rod holder that can accommodate 2 or 3 fully rigged fly rods. Being able to keep rods rigged for a few days while you're on the river is really nice.

It's come up a lot from customers and I've seen then in person. But it's nothing I could wrap my head around and get done locally. That's going to China and having one that's already made and just having my name put in it and that's no fun and mega expensive.

It's similar to the popular light brands out there, the manufacture in china will cast or screen print my name in the housing, but it's a HUGE order and though it would be cool, not my thing.

Besides, I happen to love tying knots and threading eyelets. ;-)

We have 1950's Fenwick reproduction rod bags to go with the rods.
