Abstract:
A fishing tackle box has a plurality of compartments for storing lures. In each compartment a flexible rod, which preferably has a diameter small enough to pass through an eyelet at the front of a lure, extends into the compartment from its back wall. A kinked portion of the rod is biased against the top surface of the compartment near the door, which is opposite the back wall. When the rod is bent away from the top wall and threaded through an eyelet at one end of a fishing lure, the lure is retained between the kink and back wall. The lure is easily removed from the compartment by opening the door and pulling the lure outward.
