A holder for transporting one or more fishing rods having first and second parallel rod supports, spaced notches in the top of the first rod support, corresponding spaced openings in the second rod support, a pair of similarly sized clamping bars each pivotally affixed at one end to opposite ends of the first rod support, compression material covering the notches in the first support, a constant support mechanism connecting each clamping bar to the first rod support, and a latch releasably securing the clamping bars to the first rod support. Fishing poles are positioned with the tips in the openings of the second rod support and the handles in corresponding notches in the first rod support, with the clamping bar maintained in an open position at any angle by the constant support mechanism. The clamping bar is closed with the compression material compressing around and securing the handle within the notch, and secured closed with the latch.

The fishing rod holder for use in the bed of a pickup truck of claim 1, further comprising a second clamping bar, the first and second clamping bars each pivotally affixed to the first support member. 3. The fishing rod holder for use in the bed of a pickup truck of claim 2, wherein at least one of the first and second clamping bars is raised to a variable angular position relative to the first support member where it is fixedly held at the variable angular position by the bias mechanism. 4. The fishing rod holder for use in the bed of a pickup truck of claim 3, wherein the variable angular position of the at least first and second clamping bars is changed by manual force. 5. The fishing rod holder for use in the bed of a pickup truck of claim 4, wherein an end of each of the first and second clamping bars are secured and released to the support member by a manual release mechanism. 6. The fishing rod holder for use in the bed of a pickup truck of claim 5, wherein the first and second clamping bars have a lowered position where the clamping bar is secured to the first support member using a locking mechanism. 7. The fishing rod holder of claim 6, wherein at least one of the first and second clamping bars and the first support member defines a flexible cushioning surface for engaging a fishing rod in the rod holder. 8. The fishing rod holder of claim 5, wherein the first and second clamping bars are attached at respective first ends to the distal ends of the first support member by a pivot and the manual release mechanism for each clamping bar are located adjacent one another along a central portion of the first support member. 9. The fishing rod holder for use in the bed of a pickup truck of claim 1, wherein the first and second support members are mounted entirely across the bed of the pickup truck. 10. A securing rack for elongate objects in a bed of combination with a pickup truck, the rack comprising: a pickup truck comprising a bed with sidewalls having top edges;a first generally horizontal support extending from a first sidewall of the pickup truck bed to a second sidewall;a second support generally parallel to the first support and the second support member also extending across the pickup truck bed between the first sidewall and the second sidewall;at least one base extension and a plurality of spaced notches in an upper side of the first support;at least one base extension and a plurality of spaced openings in the second support, the openings equal in number and spacing to the notches in the first support;a pair of similarly sized clamping bars pivotally affixed at one end to opposite distal ends of the first support;a mechanism for maintaining the clamping bars in a raised position at any angle to the first support; andwherein an elongate object is inserted through the opening of the second support and cradled in the notch of the first support and the clamping bars are lowered;wherein each opening in the second support member comprises;a first and a second aperture connected by a substantially circular passage;a compressive foam material contiguously lining the circular passage, and each opening and circular passage is entirely surrounded by solid material with the only entrance and exit into each opening occurring via the first and second aperture and wherein a tip of a fishing rod may be entirely circumferentially secured in the second support member and removal of the fishing rod from the fishing rod holder occurs by releasing solely the clamping bar on the first support member; andwherein base extensions of the first and second support members are inserted through a mounting hole and through a j-type bracket that is clamped onto the side of the mounting hole and suspended from the mounting hole securing the first and second support members on a respective top edge of the first and second sidewalls of the pickup truck bed defining a storage space below the first and second support members. 11. The securing rack for elongate objects of claim 10, wherein the rack is secured in the back of a pickup truck with the first and second supports generally parallel to a tailgate of the pickup truck and the first support nearer the tailgate than the second support. 12. The securing rack for elongate objects of claim 11, further comprising a releasable locking mechanism at one end of the clamping bars and a pivot at the opposing end to secure the clamping bars to the first support. 13. The securing rack for elongate objects of claim 12 wherein the mechanism for maintaining the clamping bars in a raised position at any angle to the first support is one of a frictional sliding bracket, a ratchet mechanism, a spring hinge, a bolt and slide assembly, or springs suspended from the upper interior of a truck cab. 14. A fishing rod holder in combination with a pickup truck bed comprising: a first support member having a plurality of notches and at least one base extension extending from a first sidewall of the pickup truck bed to a second sidewall;a second support member having plurality of openings and at least one base extension, the openings equal in number and spacing to the notches in the first support member and the second support member also extending across the pickup truck bed from the first sidewall to the second sidewall;at least a clamping bar pivotally affixed to the first support member;a bias mechanism that raises the clamping bar and holds it in place at an angle from the first support member; andwherein the first support member aligned in parallel with the second support member to support a plurality of fishing rods; andwherein each opening in the second support member comprises;a first and a second aperture connected by a substantially circular passage;a compressive foam material contiguously lining the circular passage, and each opening and circular passage is entirely surrounded by solid material with the only entrance and exit into each opening occurring via the first and second aperture so that a tip of each of the plurality of fishing rods may be entirely circumferentially secured in the second support member without a moveable or clamping member on the second support member and removal of each of the plurality of fishing rods from the fishing rod holder occurs by releasing solely the clamping bar on the first support member;a base extension of the first and second support members are inserted through a mounting hole and through a j-type bracket that is clamped onto the side of the mounting hole, the j-type bracket being suspended from the mounting hole for securing the first and second support members on a respective top edge of the first and second sidewalls of the pickup truck bed defining a storage space below the first and second support members;the at least one clamping bar includes a second clamping bar, the first and second clamping bars each pivotally affixed to the first support member;at least one of the first and second clamping bars is raised to a variable angular position relative to the first support member where it is fixedly held at the variable angular position by the bias mechanism and the variable angular position of the at least first and second clamping bars is changed by manual force, and an end of each of the first and second clamping bars are secured and released to the support member by a manual release mechanism; andwherein the first and second clamping bars are attached at respective first ends to the distal ends of the first support member by a pivot and the manual release mechanism for each clamping bar are located adjacent one another along a central portion of the first support member.
