ABSTRACT:
A gunwale mounted fishing rod holder comprising an inboard arm to support the butt end of a rod and an outboard arm to support the reel portion thereof. The improvement involves the addition of a latching structure which securely encloses the butt end of the rod while the baited line is in the water but which opens when the user grasps the rod and lifts it in the event of a strike. The continuous upward movement of the rod saves time and allows the user to set the hook more quickly than when it is first necessary to shift the rod in an outboard direction before the rod can be lifted out of the holder.
