Abstract: A portable fishing rod holder is provided with a body that is buoyant and has first and second ends. The first end is constructed of a material that deforms upon contact by an object. A plurality of apertures is provided at the first end, the plurality of apertures include a large portion and a narrow portion that is oriented toward a center point of the body. The second end includes a base dimensioned to support the body in an upright orientation. Fishing rods are inserted into the apertures and are secured by a strap that urges the fishing rods toward the center point of the body.
