A fishing rod jigging device for automatically moving a fishing rod in an up and down motion so as to move the fishing line within the water. The jigging device includes a housing having a drive assembly, and having a support arm extending outwardly from the housing. The support arm includes a fishing rod holder on a distal end thereof in which a fishing rod can be removably supported. The drive assembly moves the support arm in an up and down reciprocating motion along a vertical axis. The drive assembly includes a cam that rotates and engages the support arm so as to change the position thereof. In this way, the entire fishing rod is moved up and down in a reciprocating motion so as to create movement of the fishing line within the water.
