Abstract A fishing rod holder for a fishing tackle box comprising a base which is attached to a side of a fishing tackle box and an elongated tubular member which is hingedly attached to the base at one end and extends from the base. The middle portion of the elongated tubular member bends back upon the base and forms a yoke. The remaining end of the elongated tubular member is detachably attached to the base. When not in use the detachable end of the elongated tubular member is attached to the base and the elongated tubular member is positioned adjacent a side of the tackle box. When in use the detachable end of the elongated tubular member is detached from the base, the elongated tubular member is rotated away from the base to the surface which supports the tackle box, and the yoke is placed in a vertical position to support a fishing rod.
