In the fishing world, we call it a competitive rod holder. Depending on the design, it can be further divided into ram's horn, butterfly head, or automatic rebound styles.
This type of competitive rod holder doesn't have a rear support. The fishing rod is placed on it, and your hand cannot let go of the rod handle, or else the rod will tilt forward out of the angler's control.
Such a competitive rod holder is used in high-stress fishing competition situations. Your hand stays on the handle and your eyes on the bobber so as not to miss any subtle changes, thus maximizing competition scores.

"No rear support? What if I catch a fish? There's nowhere to put the rod..."
Xiaobao instinctively glanced at Liu Zi and asked with a bit of apprehension.
