Abstract: A fishing rod supporting device allows a fisherperson to wear it at waist-level for hands-free support of a fishing rod. The fishing rod supporting device includes a cylindrical holder having an hollowed inside and a top open end and a bottom open end. A linked member is provided on the bottom of the cylindrical holder to selectively close and open the bottom open end of the cylindrical holder. A cushion pad having at least a pair of belts is provided for strapping the cushion pad to the body of the fisherperson. A coupler is used to connect the cylindrical holder to the cushion pad, which is capable of allowing the cylindrical holder to be rotatable within a specific angular range.
