Rod Holder Mounting System

A rod holder system, comprising:

• a mounting bracket assembly adapted to couple to a vertically oriented tie down bracket of a vehicle;
• a cross support having first and second opposing ends, the first end adapted to be coupled to the mounting bracket assembly;
• and
• a holder coupled to the cross support between the first and second ends.

A rod holder system, comprising:

• a mounting bracket assembly adapted to couple to a structure disposed in a vehicle;
• a cross support having first and second opposing ends, the first end adapted to be coupled to the mounting bracket assembly;
• and
• a holder coupled to the cross support between the first and second ends.

A rod holder system, comprising:

• a first mounting bracket adapted to couple to a first sidewall of a vehicle;
• a second mounting bracket adapted to couple to a second sidewall of the vehicle opposite the first mounting bracket;
• a cross support having first and second opposing ends including first and second acceptor plates, respectively, the first end adapted to be removably coupled to the first mounting bracket and the second end adapted to be removably coupled to the second mounting bracket;
• a first lock mechanism coupled to the first acceptor plate and including a first lock cam adapted to engage the first mounting bracket in a locked position;
• a first lock guard extending from the first mounting bracket and adapted to restrict access to the first lock cam;
• a second lock mechanism coupled to the second acceptor plate and including a second lock cam adapted to engage the second mounting bracket in a locked position;
• a second lock guard extending from the second mounting bracket and adapted to restrict access to the second lock cam;
• a rod holder coupled to the cross support between the first and second ends;
• and
• a cable lock adapted to lock a fishing rod disposed in the rod holder to the cross support.
