A reel and rod hanger (26) which comprises a bracket (28). A facility (30) in the bracket (28) is for holding a plurality of fishing rods (10) and reels (12) in inverted positions with the tips of the fishing rods (10) extending down. A structure (32) is for mounting the bracket (28) to a vertical support (34). Any moisture on the fishing rods (10) and reels (12) will flow away from the reels (12), down the fishing lines (22) towards the tips of the fishing rod (12) to keep moisture out of the housings (24) of the reels (12) and prevent corrosion from setting in.
