Abstract
A fishing lure storage device having an opened casing and a pivotally mounted plate for retaining hooks in spaced notches. The plate fits into a cavity within the casing and is mounted by a pivot pin to one of its ends. A protrusion on the end of the plate fits into a hole in the casing to lock the plate's end opposite its pivot joint when in a lure storing position. By applying an inward pressure to the protrusion at slotted end of the plate and pivoting the plate, access to the notched stored hooks and their depending lures can be easily had. The casing and plate may be made of a transparent, clear or colored, molded plastic material to permit view of the stored hooks on the plate's notches.
