Abstract
Equipment carriers include a carrier box and an equipment holder that can be disposed on a vehicle and can be configured to store and transport equipment, such as fishing equipment. The carrier box can include a bottom portion and a lid portion, each defining a compartment within the carrier box. A clamp can be disposed in the carrier box and configured to secure equipment that extends through the carrier box. The clamp can comprise a securement latch to secure the equipment within the carrier box. The equipment holder can include notches configured to receive equipment that extends through the equipment holder and a lid portion configured to secure the equipment in the notches. The carrier box and equipment holder can be spaced apart from one another on a vehicle such that equipment extends between and is secured by both the equipment holder and the clamp disposed in the carrier box.
