  • Patent number: 4198777
    Abstract: A container for storing fishing tackle that will compactly organize a large assortment of spinners, other lures, and tackle to prevent it from becoming intermixed, tangled, spilled, or blown away while making it easy to deposit, remove, and inventory. The container has a center frame partitioned into upper and lower compartments. These compartments have partitions separating them into smaller lure containing compartments of various sizes. Both top and bottom compartments are sealed with essentially identical covers, hinged at one end or side of the frame, and engaging a latch at the opposite end or side. A number of compartments have a spring retainer and a spring for engaging the eyelet of spinners and lures. The bias force of the spring, together with a means for securing the hooks of the lures, holds the lures firmly in position.
