Put your character in a suitable standing/sitting pose, parent the rod to a hand, then adjust pole position, hands, arms, etc. It can be done easily, and doesn't take long. Then save as a pose preset.
Edit to add: browse through poses of people holding swords. You may already own suitable poses.

Alninja has a few fishing rods over on ShareCG. They are obj files, with textures and listed as unrestricted use.

Not sure if they're for DS, Poser or what - 3DS might indicate it's for 3DS Max.
Awesome :D Thanks, guys :D
I think I must have been looking under the wrong key-words because I didn't find these when I looked.
Been looking for something like these as well... Any fishing poses?

Plus you get a really nice tackle box!
