The fishing rod support comprises a shaft that extends from an insert end to a yolk end having a Y-shaped yoke to retain a fishing rod therein. The fishing rod support tripod has a leg hub and an arm hub configured to receive the fishing rod support shaft. The leg hub and/or the arm hub have flanges that are configured to flex radially outward to receive and retain the shaft which enables insertion of various diameter shafts. Three legs extend out from the leg hub and support arms extend from the arm hub to support arm couplings coupled with each of the legs. The tripod has a pair of fixed legs and an angle adjustable leg that can be pivoted about the leg hub and be retained in an offset angle for placement on uneven surfaces.
