I saw this DIY rod holder while digging through the archives.After building a couple, I really wasn't satisfied with the fact a fish could pull a rod downward and out of the holder. The original has a notch in the front upright for the rod to lay, and the rear upright had a larger notch for the rod handle to lay in.
I redid the rear upright by drilling a hole and inserting the rod handle into it, this eliminated the chance of loosing a rod . Pictured laying next to the improved holder is the original rear upright.
