Abstract
A container is disclosed for fishing lures or other objects. The container includes an outer tube having a cylindrical side wall and one closed end and one open end. The cylindrical side wall has an elongated opening therein and the outer tube has recess therein. The container also includes an inner tube which is rotatably mounted within the outer tube. The inner tube has a cylindrical side wall and also has one closed end and one open end. The open end of the inner tube is sized for longitudinal insertion into the open end of said outer tube. The side wall of the inner tube also has an elongated opening therein and inner tube has a rib thereon which cooperates with the recess to longitudinally hold the inner tube within the outer tube. Rotation of the inner tube to a rotational position where the elongated opening of the inner tube is in alignment with the elongated opening of the outer tube provides a substantial area of access to the interior of the container. Rotation of the inner tube to any other rotational position provides a closed container. Various other details and features are disclosed.
