QUOTE=JohnnyD;767355]Locks or not, if they want it, the scumbags will take it. There are few (if any options) to secure the rods on top of a vehicle from the pieces of trash that roam the streets. My suggestion, save your money and your gear... pop them in the car if you aren't bringing them with you.
Even inside, they are only marginally safer.[/QUOTE]
I have Yakama ski racks that lock. The bolts that hold them to the roof racks are underneath the bars so when they are locked there is no way to get at them.
Yep, one night at Head of the Meadow I came off the beach and caught a scumbag trying to figure out how to get the rods off the roof. I then showed him why I carry a hand gaff on my belt. Lucky he could run faster than me in waders.
