Abstract: A wearable rod holder having a holder portion rotatably connected to a strap clip portion is provided. The strap clip portion engages a strap or a belt a fisherperson may be wearing so that two spaced apart cradle hooks provided by the holder portion may support a fishing pole, hands-free. An elastic cord provided by the holder portion helps secure the fishing rod to the cradle hooks when the fisherperson goes hands-free and/or when rotating the holder portion relative to the strap clip portion to selectively position the fishing rod in a locked engagement with the wearable rod holder.
