A holder for fishing rods that may be removably mounted on a motor vehicle to support a fishing rod unattended by a fisherman. A bracket engages the bumper of the vehicle and the frame rests against the bumper to provide support. At least one tube is pivotally mounted to the frame and is supported by a support bar to retain the tube in a substantially vertical position with respect to the ground. A fishing rod is received in the tube. The frame also may be disposed on a substantially horizontal surface, independent of the vehicle, with the tube in a position to receive a fishing rod.
