Abstract: A fishing tackle box, in form, similar to an attache case, the shells of which are molded of scuff-resistant vinyl, thermoplastic, or like material. Within the shells are blocks of molded Styrofoam or the like, to provide buoyancy for the box, should it accidentally fall into a body of water. The styrofoam material is molded about spaced strips of magnetized material so as to hold fish lures, tackle etc., thereto. Openings in the styrofoam provide space for reels, sinkers, lines, and other non-metallic materials carried in the box. The box is thus magnetic, and buoyant and would float and hold the tackle etc., in the box even though it fell in the water open.
