Abstract: A fishing tackle box includes interchangeable inserts for holding sections of a fishing rod. Each interchangeable insert is releasably held within an associated retaining channel of a body of the tackle box by snap-fit engagement. Each interchangeable insert includes a plurality of apertures and cylindrical channels to hold differently-sized cross-sections of fishing rod segments through snap-fit engagement. Multiple, differently sized interchangeable inserts are held in a spaced orientation by the tackle box body, thus accommodating the longitudinal tapering of the segments of the fishing rod. Through the use of interchangeable inserts, the same fishing tackle box may be releasably secured to a variety of differently sized fishing rods by selecting appropriately sized interchangeable inserts dimensioned to match the particular fishing rod to be releasably held by the tackle box.
