Abstract: An apparatus for storing fishing lures includes two generally symmetrical portions which are joined by a hinge portion. Each of the portions includes a semi-cylindrical cavity portion and a semi-tubular portion and a locking member. When the two symmetrical portions are folded together, the two semi-cylindrical portions form a case in which a fishing lure can be stored in a safe manner. The two semi-tubular portions form a complete tube which enables the apparatus to be mounted on a fishing rod.
