It can be, but depends on where and how it is used in the sentence. A direct object is a noun phrase denoting a person or thing that is the recipient of the action of a transitive verb.

For instance:

The dog was struck with a rod. - Rod in this sentence is not a direct object.

The child picked up a rod. - In this sentence it is.

Focus on the receiver of the action.

The direct object is the fishing rod and the indirect object is Bobby. It is easier to see if you rephrase the question like this: Mr. Green gave a new fishing rod to Bobby on Sunday. The fishing rod is directly affected by Mr. Green and Bobby is the intended recipient of the action.
