Abstract
A fishing rod and tackle carrier is disclosed. The container encloses a portion of a fishing pole. The fishing pole has a reel and a rod. The container includes two substantially rigid and opposing end walls. The end walls are spaced apart a distance large enough to suspend the pole and permit the reel to fit inside the container. The upper rims of the end walls define opposing recesses which are shaped to receive one or more rods with such rods being held securely in place when the lid of the container is closed.
