A holder for a fishing rod which automatically sets a hook in fish or other aquatic game. The holder includes a post adapted for mounting in the ground with the post pivotally mounting a beam which is constrained for movement between a waiting position and released position. A cradle mounted on the upper end of the beam supports the butt end of the fishing rod, and the lower end of the beam is connected through a collapsible linkage with the lower end of the post. A trigger is provided for converting the linkage from a set position at which a rigid link interconnects the beam and post and a collapsed position which enables the beam to pivot toward its released position. A tension spring is provided for applying a bias force for urging the beam toward its released position. The trigger responds to a predetermined magnitude of pulling force on the fishing line when the fish or other aquatic game strikes the hook. Movement of the linkage toward its collapsed position moves the rod so that its tip end applies a vigorous pulling force on the line to set the hook in the fish.
