How do those of you with smaller cars do about fitting in tackle?
Particularly when going on an overnighter or even longer?
I had a Mondeo and now have a Focus. I can get my rods in but they do stick right out into the front of the car from the boot now, even with all the rear seats down.
I have been looking at roof boxes but wondered if anyone had tips or advice.
I have been scanning Ebay regularly for Thule 500 size boxes which are around 225cm long and would fit 6ft rod sections in easily but they are going for more than I can really justify spending at the moment. Also, all the private sales are collection only (understandable) which rules out many of them as they are just too far away from me.
I am getting concerned about Graham's retirement fish-in and how I'm going to fit everything in that I'll need.
