Abstract: A retainer for organizing a plurality of lengths of fishing rod includes a flexibly-resilient member having a first end and a second end including at least one tab. The retainer also includes a first portion of a coupler fixedly attached to the flexibly resilient member proximate the first end thereof, and a second portion of coupler fixedly attached to the flexibly resilient member at a point along the length of the flexibly resilient member located between the first end and the at least one tab. The flexibly resilient member is adapted to be wrapped about a plurality of aligned lengths of fishing rod, wherein the second portion of the coupler is coupled to the first portion of the coupler, thereby retaining the length of fishing rod in close relationship.
