Abstract: An apparatus for attachment to a waistband of a wearer for supporting a base end portion of an elongated rod such as a fishing pole adjacent to the leg of the wearer. The apparatus includes an elongated strap having a main portion which extends from the waistband down the leg of the wearer, a first end removeably attachable to the waistband, and a second end having a first support pocket which receives and supports the base end of the elongated rod. The first support pocket is suspended adjacent to and directly contacts the inner thigh of the wearer creating a fulcrum when the elongated rod is supported therein. The creation of the fulcrum permits the elongated rod to be held by the wearer in a stable manner while transferring a majority of the load of the elongated rod from the arms and shoulders of the wearer to the wearer's legs.
