Abstract: A hinged flexible plastic shell in which barbed fishing lures and fish-hooks in general may be kept to avoid injury connects to a fishing rod merely by an operator's closing of its lid upon the rod by pop-open and pop-shut manipulation of certain nodes atop the shell's lid. To close, he or she depresses a pop-shut node against an enclosure ridge on the underlying storage portion. To open, either of the pop-open nodes may be depressed against notch shoulders to cause the lid to flex outward to position it for co-engagement with the lower portion.
