The present invention is clear and allows the fisherman to easily see what lure is being stored and protected, and the color-coded cavities let the fisherman know what weight of leader is attached. The present invention allows the fisherman to carry individually pre-tied lures in a pocket or vest safely or store them neatly in a tackle box without tangles or knots.
- The present invention is open on both ends for drainage and proper drying of all cavities being used to store all items. The present invention is made of clear flexible, waterproof, unbreakable material designed for multiple uses.
