RiverSmith River Quiver ShortCut 2-Banger: Compact Roof Rack Fly Rod Carrier for 2 Rods (5 ft 8.75 in)

Compact, two-rod protection for on-road and river trips

The RiverSmith River Quiver ShortCut 2-Banger is designed for anglers who want gear that travels quietly and protects your time on the water. At 5 ft 8.75 in long, it fits tight rooflines and busy city rigs while still carrying two fully rigged fly rods up to 10'4" when split in half. Reassembly happens in moments, so you can slide from parking lot to riverside without missing a beat.

When you arrive at your spot, you can reassemble in seconds and start casting, rather than spending minutes fiddling with guides and knots in parking lots. The ShortCut keeps your rods organized, reducing the chance of tangles before you reach the riverbank.

Rod chair system: tangle-free transport

The included rod chairs let you secure your split rods so leaders, tippets, and flies stay ready to fish. This thoughtful system supports a smooth setup at home and a fast, frustration-free rigging session on the road.

Protection you can trust

Built with weather-resistant AES polymer and a soft foam interior liner, the ShortCut cushions rods against road vibration, sun exposure, and incidental bumps. A high-security locking reel box uses a robust tongue-and-groove design to deter tampering, while a side-swing door with a hold-open hinge prevents wind from snapping it shut during loading.

Versatility and easy installation

Mounting versatility makes the ShortCut compatible with many spaces. It works on roof crossbars and also fits inside truck cabs, on UTVs, pop-up campers, trailers, and overland rigs. The included standard brackets and hardware offer a straightforward 10–25 minute setup.
