A car top rod and reel carrier permits the user to store rods and reels in their assembled state ready for fishing. The apparatus includes a handle so that the carrier including the rods and reels can be carried as a unit. The apparatus also includes a top section connected by hinges to a bottom section. Semi-circular cut outs in the front and rear edges of the top and bottom sections create coaxial apertures for the fishing equipment. The rod portion passes through the first set of front apertures and the butt portion of the rod and reel combination passes through the second set of rear apertures. A cushion inside of the bottom section supports the reels. The apparatus is attached to the top of an automobile by means of adjustable gutter mounts. The device permits the user to store rods and reels in the “ready to go”state. Moreover, the entire unit may be removed from the automobile and carried to the fishing site conveniently.
