ShortCut River Quiver (5'2)

The ShortCut River Quiver comes with a set of Rod Chairs to keep your rigged rod secure and organized while broken down in half in the unit. The Rod Chairs are simple to take on and off your rod, leaving you ready to fish in no time.

You do need a roof rack with 2 crossbars to attach the River Quiver to your vehicle. If you own a pickup truck, cross bars are not required. Check our Truck Bed ShortCut solution here.

The River Quiver is designed to fit most commercial roof rack systems. In fact, Riversmith engineers haven’t yet found a commercial rack that doesn’t fit. We completed a thorough review of multiple brands and styles of rack to make sure there were no limitations with our product.If the thickness of crossbars is over 1 3/8” it will require extended bolts(Sold Separately). If the crossbars sit lower than average;< 1.5" from top of crossbar to top of roof, it will require shorter bolts(Sold Separately).This is common in earlier generations of the Toyota 4Runner and Honda CRV factory Racks.

The short answer is yes, but it all depends on the cross-bar system you have on your vehicle. We have three different mounting options that will accommodate all different roof rack styles and your specific needs. To read more about these mounting options, please click here.

You can most definitely keep the River Quiver on year-round. We designed it to ensure you can have your rod rigged at the ready no matter the time of year you are fishing.

The River Quiver can accommodate spey/switch rods with a minor tweak to how the reel sits on the rod. Simply connect the reel on the back butt section with either a reel cover or rubber band. When you arrive at your fishing destination all you need to from here is to re-attach reel into the reel seat and you are off fishing.

Simply change the mounts to the opposite mounting track and mount the River Quiver Reel Box Up. Reel box up is a very popular, and easy fix; the beauty of the River Quiver is that is can be mounted reel box up, reel box down, sideways, hanging below the rack, whatever you can dream of and will work with your rack/vehicle. You will not see any difference in performance in any River Quiver Orientation. You can simply flip the rear Riversmith logo and re-adhere if needed.

If the crossbars sit lower than average;< 1.5" from top of crossbar to top of roof, it will require shorter bolts (Sold Separately)
