  • Patent number: 4589546
    Abstract: A fishing lure storage and transportation structure having a portable container with an interior recess removably mounting a unitary lure storage core. The unitary lure storage core and container are provided with suitable passages and openings for flow of water from within the container to the exterior thereof and which also facilitate drying action of lures suspended within the tubes of the lure storage core by a thermo-siphoning action. The action results from the container having a double wall insulated body with a single panel lid and the lid having openings. The warmest air will be beneath the lid and this creates an airflow through the portable container whereby the air can flow upwardly and outwardly thereof and carry any trapped moisture to the outside of the portable container.
