The present invention comprises a fishing rod lock system. The system includes a generally cylindrical male insert. The male insert has a cylindrical exterior extent with a central cylindrical bore for receiving the inboard end of the upper fishing rod section. The male insert further includes an inboard extent formed with threads, the threads being shallower and finer adjacent to the outboard end. The system also includes a generally cylindrical female insert. The female insert has a central cylindrical bore at the outboard end for receiving the inboard end of the male insert. The female insert further includes a cylindrical recess at its inboard end for receiving the outboard end of the lower fishing rod section. The female insert also has an intermediate cylindrical section with threads, the threads being shallower and finer adjacent to the outboard end.
