A holder/carrier is foldable into either an open or a closed position for respectively holding or carrying a fishing rod having at least a handle portion and a staff portion. The holder/carrier comprises a base for preparing bait, extensions mounted to the base and extended forwardly thereof for preventing tip-over of the base, and upstanding members mounted near a front edge of the base. Hinges and spring locks mounted near the front edge of the base keep the upstanding members upright and maintain the holder/carrier in its open position for holding the fishing rod. Lock knobs and ball snap locks mounted near a rear edge of the base lock the upstanding members folded down and maintain the holder/carrier in its closed position for carrying the fishing rod. A handle is mounted near the rear edge of the base for transporting the holder/carrier in its closed position in a briefcase-like manner. The base is a flat, horizontally oriented, cutting board. The base and most other elements are preferably made of either lightweight plastic or wood which would cause the holder/carrier to float if it were accidentally pulled or dropped into water.
