FAQs

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)

Security

High-security tongue and groove joint makes it almost impossible to break or enter the reel box. Made with AES polymer, this design resists all attempts at destruction.

Ease of Use

Side-swing door with a unique “hold-open hinge” makes a huge difference to the functionality and enjoyment of owning the best fly fishing equipment you can buy.

Strength

Our design is able to withstand shock, wind &, impact loads while still being lighter to install and less load on your vehicle.

Great product

Best rod holder

From soup to nuts, Riversmith has the best fly rod holder on the market. Rather than ordering it online, I called the company directly, and they Guided me through the process of buying the rod holder. They could’ve easily sold me a more expensive version, but the sales person assessed my needs and tailored my purchase to what’s in my best interest rather than theirs.
I couldn’t be happier with the product and its quality. I can’t say enough about Riversmith.

A really nice add to my overland 4WD pickup

When one decides to place a rooftop tent on a 1010 rack in a pickup like my 4WD RAM Diesel, complete with 5'3" bed, options for a rod case are limited. A full-length just doesn't. The Shortie had potential. But it is just a little too short, or a little too long to mount in the usual North-South orientation. At least for my bed rack system.

I was stymied, and stumbled across the idea of mounting it cross-ways (if you will).

It is a tad short for a direct buckle up to my rack, but a couple of subtle modifications to the end cap, and it fits like a gem. My contact at Riversmith was super responsive and super-helpful.

My guess is that if you have a bed rack system that is Abby-normal, Riversmith will help navigate you to getting this kit working for you.

I am very pleased with the quality of the components and overall design.

Let's go fishing!

Perfect match for Rivian!

What a great option, especially when you don't have the space (or want) a full-length version. It fits really nicely on the factory bars above the bed. The quality and attention to detail is so obvious - the best on the market IMO!

Top of the line

This extremely well-made legacy lasting quality Rod Holder, although pricey at first look when held in hand you soon realizes that the Riverquiver will last a Lifetime. This is the one to get with you wish to travel with your fly rod on a regular basis from your phone or favorite stream. Sturdy, secure an easy access the Riverquiver is best in class.
