The present invention comprises four embodiments of an apparatus, which allows fishing poles or other items to be carried with a standard sized tackle box in combination with one hand. The present invention also allows fishing poles to be stored on the lid (or elsewhere) on a tackle box so that the tackle box and poles form one compact unitary package. The rods are arranged longitudinally with the tackle box, and are attached to the lid of the tackle box, not the handle, such that the handle is left clear. In each embodiment, a tube or tube portion secures the handle end of the pole, while an optional cutout may be provided to secure the reel portion to on side of the box lid. The apparatus may be built into the box lid, or may be provided as an aftermarket or OEM attachment. Optional rod clips may be used to hold the upper portion of the rod if a multi-piece rod is disassembled.
