"Driving between spots with several expensive rods on the roof is always accompanied by a (nagging) fear that rods and car are about to part company. Any doubts should be overcome by Vac Rac's latest magnetic rod carrier, whose (vise-like) grip relies on the combination of a vacuum and a flexible six-inch square magnetic pad to provide a contact that is virtually impossible to break." -Trout Fisherman, March 2002
"The racks stick to the metal like glue, due to the vacuum created, and can be removed only by lifting the corner pull tab." -Trout Fisherman, March 2002
