If you're heading to the river, the coast, or the backcountry - whether it's a weekend mission or a way of life - your ute setup is the difference between a day that flows and one that doesn't.
Below you'll find real setups from real people, and everything you need to build yours.
The three things fishing ute setups can't compromise on are security, organisation, and durability. A canopy that rusts out from salt exposure, latches that seize up after a season on the coast, or a setup with weak points you worry about every time you leave the vehicle - those are the problems we solve.
The Centurion MK4 Canopy is aluminium-constructed, fully sealed, and locks with the vehicle, so corrosion and security are dealt with from the ground up. It's also strong enough to carry a rod box, roof rack, or rooftop tent without compromising what's inside.
With a worldwide fanbase that follows along on his hunting and fishing adventures, Joe has built a name for himself in the outdoor community not only here in New Zealand, but across the globe. From hunting some of the most remote places in the country to fishing rugged coastlines for aggressive saltwater species, Joe is living the life most of us can only dream of.
Joe’s Centurion canopy and ute set-up act as his base of operations, a specialised vehicle and home away from home. Camera gear, hunting kit, camping gear, even space for the family’s weekend bags; everything has a place, and everything can be reached in seconds.
Hear his story below:
Ethan runs fly fishing and hunting trips out of Glenorchy, deep in the Southern Alps of New Zealand, where the country is serious and conditions can change without warning. For a professional guide, the vehicle isn't just transport, it's part of the operation. Clients in the cab, gear in the back, everything where it should be before the day even starts.
His Centurion Canopy and Cantilever system keeps rods, cameras, and hunting equipment locked away and instantly accessible, whether he's pulling up at a remote trailhead or launching into a river at first light. A setup that works quietly in the background, so he can stay focused on delivering the experience his clients came for.
For Jim Brown, the good life starts where the sand meets the sea. Surf rod in the sand, coals on the go, and a full roast ticking away while the tide rolls in. His ute is the hub of every beach mission.
With his Centurion Canopy, he’s turned the tub into a rolling kitchen and gear locker. Every millimetre used, everything protected from sand and salt, and ready to go at a moment’s notice. Less time shuffling gear means more time fishing, cooking, and making trips that people talk about for years.
