Abstract: A storage container commonly referred to a “tackle box,” that detachably secures an elongate fishing lure, such as a tube fly or the like, within a chamber of a case using a mandrel for detachably engaging the lure and a mandrel anchor for detachably engaging the mandrel. In a disclosed embodiment, the mandrel anchor is formed of foam with slits received therein for receiving one or more mandrels. A distal end of each mandrel may include a clip for snugly engaging the lure to further hold the lure in place in the container.
