A fishing rod holder is provided. The holder comprises a one or a pair of stacked members that are made of a lightweight and conformable material, such as close-cell foam. The stacked members comprise proximal and distal ends. The proximal ends each include a plurality of cutouts along the length of the member, whereby the cutouts are shaped to provide a series of flared projections and recessions. The distal ends of the stacked members comprise a pair of attachment mechanisms. The first attachment mechanism comprises a pair of magnets that are nested between the upper and lower members of the holder, whereby each member comprises a half of the magnet that is adapted for securing onto metallic surfaces. The second attachment mechanism comprises a pair of straps that are secured through the members. The strap may comprise fasteners that enable the holder to be secured around a support surface.
