Abstract

A fishing rod support rack has upper and lower wire frames. The lower frame has a continuous wire hoop, a wire shelf assembly, and a plurality of bent wire loops all welded together. The upper frame has a continuous wire hoop and a plurality of bent wire loops welded together. The upper and lower frames are attached to a wall in such a selectively spaced vertical relation that the loops of the upper frame generally align directly above the loops of the lower frame. The shelf assembly has upper surface portions on which the butt ends of the fishing rods can be removably supported. The loops of the lower frame removably receive the butt ends of the fishing rods therethrough and afterwards engage the grips of the removably supported fishing rods, thereby providing clearance among the removably supported fishing rods. The loops of the upper frame removably receive the tip ends of the fishing rods therethrough and afterwards engage the walls of the removably supported fishing rods, thereby providing the removably supported fishing rods with upright support.
