A lockable fishing rod rack for holding a multiple number of fishing rods made of materials resisting corrosion and compatible with the environment in which a first rack member and a second rack member are slideable relative to each other so that in one position of the racks the lock can be placed in position and upon sliding movement of the racks relative to each other the rack is closed to the removal of fishing rods and can be held in that position by a lock preventing relative movement of the two rack members.
