An implement holder that removably attaches to a container, comprises a frame and a support. The frame contains a pair of open slots. The slots define an engagement tab therebetween. The tab flexes in response to a force. The support projects from one side of the frame and is configured to support an implement. The holder is attached to the container by (i) positioning the frame relative to the container such that the support is outside the container, (ii) aligning the slots of the frame on a rim of the container such that the tab is inside the rim, and (iii) pushing the frame onto the rim to cause the tab to flex and allow the frame to slidably engage a wall of the container along the slots, such that the tab is biased against the wall and securely holds the frame to the container.

1. A fishing rod holder that removably attaches to a container, the container including a wall having first and second opposing sides, the wall terminating at a rim which at least partially defines an opening to the container, said fishing rod holder comprising: (a) a frame having a bottom edge and containing a pair of elongated slots open at the bottom edge, the pair of slots defining an engagement tab therebetween and a pair of counter tabs spaced apart by the engagement tab and the pair of slots, the engagement tab being a substantially resilient member that flexes in response to a force applied between the bottom edge of said frame and the rim of the container,the flex of the engagement tab allowing said frame to slidably engage the wall of the container along the pair of slots until said frame becomes removably attached to the container in a fixed position, in which the engagement tab is biased against the first side of the wall and the pair of counter tabs is biased against the second side of the wall; and(b) a support connected to said frame and configured to support a fishing rod when said frame is removably attached to the container in the fixed position,said support including first and second support arms cantilevered from said frame in spaced-apart relation, each of the support arms containing a substantially open rest point, positioned a distance away from said frame, for receiving and supporting a portion of the fishing rod,the first support arm being positioned on said frame a first distance from the bottom edge of said frame and the second support arm being positioned on said frame a second distance from the bottom edge of said frame, the first distance being greater than the second distance, such that the fishing rod is supported at an angle by the first and the second arms when said frame is removably attached to the container in the fixed position. 2. The fishing rod holder of claim 1, wherein said frame is generally flat. 3. The fishing rod holder of claim 1, wherein said frame is made of a generally flat sheet of metal. 4. The fishing rod holder of claim 1, wherein said frame is made of a generally flat sheet of plastic. 5. The fishing rod holder of claim 1, wherein said support is integrally connected to said frame. 6. The fishing rod holder of claim 1, wherein the rest points of the support arms are aligned with each other. 7. The fishing rod holder of claim 1, wherein at least one of the rest points of the first and the second support arms is in a form of a substantially v-shaped notch. 8. The fishing rod holder of claim 7, wherein the notch is defined by first and second slopes and a depth, the length of the first and the second slopes being about one inch and the depth of the notch being about three-quarters of an inch. 9. The fishing rod holder of claim 1, wherein the first and the second support arms project away from the container when said frame is removably attached to the container in the fixed position, such that the fishing rod clears the opening of the container when being supported by the arms. 10. The fishing rod holder of claim 1, further comprising an accessory having means for removably coupling to said frame or said support.
