Abstract
A holder for fishing lures includes a body portion having a generally truncated conical shape defining a cavity and having a reduced diameter first end. The body portion has an enlarged diameter second end, a first opening at the first end, and a second opening at the second end. The first opening is substantially smaller than the second opening such that a leader that can be fed through the first opening, and a fishing lure can be inserted into the cavity through the second opening. A leader retainer is integrally formed with the body portion. The leader retainer comprises a generally flat web extending from the body portion and includes a pair of spaced apart edge portions shaped to receive and retain a leader wound around the web.
