A fishing rod retainer system is a device for enabling a fisherman to conveniently carry and transport several fishing poles at once, without tangling the fishing lines, to a fishing location for use. The device also uniquely enables the fisherman to stably place the multi-fishing-rod holder assembly in a vertical position on the flat outside surface of the second end-cap pole retainer, onto a flat ground surface, with multiple fishing rods securely placed within the plurality of first pole receivers and second pole receivers. The first end-cap pole retainer and the second end-cap pole retainer have in line concentrically located apertures that are about 2 inches in diameter so that the multi-fishing-rod holder assembly is able to be slideably inserted onto a secure post for complete stability during usage.
