Abstract: A support device for use in sport fishing to hold a plurality of fishing rods unattended. The device has at least two clamps or brackets to anchor the device securely to a railing on a boat, or the holder may be secured to the deck, after first removing the clamps. The fishing rods will be retained adequately enough within the device to permit the user to leave the fishing rod unattended in the device while trolling, with the fishing line trailing out behind the boat.
