The rod rack retains a plurality of fishing rods securely and protected from damage while keeping the rods highly accessible. This rod rack is easily installed and removed and made of flexible materials so it can be rolled up and stored when not in use. The apparatus is mostly comprised of two carrier members, spaced apart at a desired distances and positioned, substantially parallel to each other across with width of a vehicles cab. The carrier holds fishing rods having a handle at one end and a rod tip at the opposite end. Fishing rods are secured where the handle end of each fishing rod is held by a portion of shock cord on one carrier member and where the tip end of the fishing rods are held by a corresponding portion of shock cord in the opposite carrier member.
