Abstract
The present invention relates generally a device for storing fishing lures such as spinning baits, or spinner baits as they are also known in the art. In more particular, the present invention is directed toward an improved spinning bait storage container wherein the unique configuration of this sort of lure is accommodated by a specially designed individual storage container which prevents the lure from becoming entangled with other lures. The instant invention consists of a generally rectangular box within which are erected barriers that support and restrain the lure when it is placed therein. This arrangements prevents the lure from becoming entangled with other lures, reduces compressive stress on the skirt, and reduces the risk of injury to the fisherman due to exposed fishhooks.
