ABSTRACT:
A fishing lure holder for receiving and automatically locking hooks of fishing lures. The apparatus includes a base having an elongated portion defining a plurality of U-shaped slots therein and a locking plate having a plurality of L-shaped slots therein. The locking plate is movable between a closed position in which pairs of L-shaped and U-shaped slots overlap and an open position in which the slots are substantially aligned, defining a transversely extending gap between each pair. A hook-guiding surface extends from an apex of each L-shaped slot and a similar hook-guiding surface extends in a longitudinally opposite direction from an intermediate portion of each the U-shaped slot. The hook-guiding surfaces form normally extending hook-receiving grooves adjacent a longitudinal edge of the apparatus. A spring longitudinally biases the locking plate toward the closed position. In operation, a hook of a fishing lure is pressed transversely into a hook-receiving groove, forcing the locking plate toward the open position so that the hook is free to move toward the bottom of the corresponding slots. As the hook passes the apex of the L-shaped slot, the spring moves the locking plate back toward the closed position, thus clamping the hook between the U-shaped slot and the L-shaped slot.
