1. A latchable, rotatable rod holder, comprising:
a base;
a latch release lever rotatably attached to said base, said latch release lever having a latching surface;
a rod holder adapted to receive a rod, said rod having a length, said rod holder attached to said base via a rod holder rotatable attachment, said rod holder comprising a latch plate having a first surface and a second surface;
wherein said latch release lever latching surface is adapted to contact said first surface of said latch plate when said rod holder is in a latched stowed position, such that said contact between said latch release lever latching surface and said first surface of said latch plate prevents said rod holder from rotating on said rod holder rotatable attachment, latching said rod holder into the latched stowed position;
wherein when said latch release lever is rotated on said latch release lever rotatable attachment such that said contact between said latch release lever latching surface and said first surface of said latch plate is removed, said rod holder is allowed to rotate on said rod holder rotatable attachment in a first direction towards a rod insertion/removal position;
