Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me out?

I do a ton of fishing, and I have my fishing poles in my Fiesta basically 24/7 now. I'm tired of them constantly being in the way, and flying around in the car occasionally when I decide to sauce it through a corner. I really want a roof pole holder, or storage box to store my rods in. What type of options are there in terms of a roof rack that fits our car that's compatible with Thule boxes?

These are the two things I was looking at for storing my fishing poles, I have three 7 foot poles, so the box needs to have internal dimensions really close to 7 feet.
This pole holder says it's compatible with rods up to 8 feet, so that'd work, but I was also looking at boxes on their site as well. If I get a box, I can use it for more than just fishing poles, unlike the dedicated pole holder.

This box has a max length of 6.88 feet, which is damn near 7 feet, so I think I could make it work by propping the end of the rod up, or turning them slightly diagonal.

If you have any other suggestions on idea for fishing pole storage in the fiesta, that'd be awesome, thanks for the help!

Prefer something with some more security, but good idea :ROFLMAO:
It's what people around here use. Usually on a vehicle like a Pathfinder or 4Runner, but same idea.

Old timey ski racks. Nobody skis anymore - just boards. They had locks on 'em and are in every garage above the 40 degree line (geography!).
