Sit them in the front seat and arc them into the rear hatch and I don't see why not.

I can easily fit my 7' rod by arching it from the passenger seat foot area to the back of the hatch.

You can probably fit a 8-9' in there.

Sorry, I should have specified that these are offshore saltwater rods...there's no bend in them.

You could probably fit it over the top of the passenger seat from the rear hatch as well (pointing forward).. the rear latch to the dashboard has to be over 6'

I've put a 6'6" rod in the z this way. Fit with plenty of room. I Put it from the trunk over the far passenger side so the rod doesn't slide back and forth across the beam

You should still have no problem stuffing those little 6footers in there

Thank you for all of the replies. That's what I needed to know. People always seem shocked when I pull large items out of this car...golf clubs, a large cooler, a week's worth of groceries, etc. I can take just about anything other than my family or bike in it.

Bridgestone Dueler REVO 2s, but that's on a completely different animal and I wouldn't subject that to the sand unless it was an emergency.

I could tell you where to put it, but it might be uncomfortable.

It's not the car that's too small, it's the rod that's too long. I switched to Emmrod last year
