Abstract
A fishing rod extender adjustably holds a fishing rod on the side of a fishing boat. The fishing rod is retained in either an extended position during fishing or withdrawn in a retracted position closer to the boat when adjusting the reel, etc. The extending and retracting motion is undertaken by using a parallelogram frame or linkage pivotally attached at each of its four corners, having a base frame member or link rigidly mounted at an angle to the deck of a boat, and having the top frame or link member, parallel to the base, to move transversely in and out as the two interconnecting parallel frames or links rotate. A cylindrical collar attached to the top link near its outboard end receives the handle of the fishing rod.
