Abstract
A fishing rod holder in the shape of a frusto-conical cylinder, having the larger frustrum open for receiving the fishing rod handle. Near the opposite frustrum from the opening is a pivotally mounted cup having a horizontally mounted pin rigidly fixed to cup. The larger frustrum and conical angle are selected to be that which is necessary to strike a fish. A fishing rod is placed in the holder, the butt end of the rod's handle resting on the pin (a slot may be placed in the rod's handle to receive the pin), and, when a fish bites, a fisherman can immediately strike the fish by pulling the rod backwards through the conical angle.
