  • Patent number: 5611170
    Abstract: A fishing tackle box has a built in light for use in night fishing. The tackle box has a main body, a hinged lid and three fold-out trays. The light is carried on the end of a flexible arm which allows the light to be adjusted to the desired position and orientation. The arm and light may be stored in a trough in the upper tray of the tackle box. In the storage position, the light aligns with an opening in the end of the lid so that when the tackle box is closed and is being carried, the light shines through the opening.
