  • Fish hook storage device
    Patent number: 7284349
    Abstract: A device for storing fish hooks which have lengths of leader attached in an orderly fashion. A thin, generally rectangular piece of plastic has two rows of posts, one extending axially outwardly in alignment with each lateral face. The two rows of posts are laterally offset from one another to facilitate attachment and removal of a loop in the distal end of the leader. A layer of elastomeric material coats at least ? of each face at the opposite end of the body. The hook which is tied to the proximate end of the leader is embedded in the elastomeric layer to maintain the fish hooks in an ordered array. A second embodiment includes an integral storage compartment for lead shot.
