A spinning rod retainer cap fits over the mouth of a tubular rod holder to hold the handle and reel of a spinning rod inserted therein. The retainer cap comprises a cylindrical skirt, and a plurality of resilient fingers extending inwardly from the upper end of the skirt, the tips of the fingers defining an entry opening for the handle into the tubular rod holder. Two retainer posts extend upwardly from the skirt adjacent resilient fingers and are spaced apart to define a notch receiving and accommodating the mounting strut of the reel. The resilient fingers incline toward the rod handle to form the notch into a triangular configuration with a narrow entry slot for receiving and restraining the reel strut of the reel.

A spinning rod retainer cap for use in combination with a tubular rod holder for receiving and holding a spinning rod having a reel supported on the handle thereof by the reel\s integral base and mounting strut, the retainer cap comprising: (A) a cylindrical skirt sized to fit over and frictionally engage with the tubular rod holder with the upper end of the skirt adjacent the mouth of the tubular rod holder; (B) a plurality of resilient fingers extending inwardly from the upper end of the skirt, the tips of the resilient fingers defining an entry opening into the tubular rod holder; and (C) two retainer posts respectively integrally formed extending upwardly from adjacent resilient fingers, the two retainer posts being spaced apart to define a notch for accommodating the mounting strut of the reel; whereby when the retainer cap is mounted on the rod holder and the handle of the rod is inserted through the entry opening, the resilient fingers deflect downwardly to accept and grip the rod handle and the retainer posts incline toward the rod handle, thereby forming the notch into a triangular configuration which accepts and holds the reel strut.
