A fishing rod holder has a pointed post capable of being pushed into the ground, and pivotable member pivotably mounted on the upper end of the post. This member is designed to hold and support the handle of a fishing rod. A spring is provided co-acting between the member and the post to cause the member, when not restrained, to raise the forward end of the fishing rod. Protruding horizontally from the post is a structure which slidably supports an elongated sear. Another spring is provided to urge the sear toward the post. Depending from the forward end of the pivotable member is a keeper having a hole at its lower end. The purpose of the hole is to be engaged by the sear when the sear is in an extended position. The first mentioned spring provides a friction force between the sear and its support structure which force is sufficient to prevent the second mentioned spring from urging or retracting the sear towards the post. An electrical switch is provided between the post and the sear so that when the sear is retracted the switch is closed to activate a signal, such as a light or buzzer.
