ABSTRACT:
A fishing tackle box includes a rigid housing provided with a cutting board top wall from which depend, a pair of laterally spaced apart storage sub units each equipped with a plurality of horizontally displaceable drawers. Variation in the height of the numerous drawers permits accommodating the myriad sizes of fishing tackle while partitions in any of the drawers assures isolation of the specific tackle items. A single lock element on each sub unit is shiftable to a drawer overlying position to maintain closed drawers in place. Live bait or fish catch is retained within a waterproof receptacle removably positioned beneath the housing top wall intermediate the two storage sub units and is accessible through a pivotal door in the top wall. A fixed tape measure as well as an adjacent extensible measuring tape are included in the top wall as are flexible VELCRO straps operable to securely attach elongated fishing gear to the housing. To readily store a cleaning knife, a slot is formed through the top wall, juxtaposed one end thereof. The housing may be carried either by gripping two displaceable handles on the front and rear of the top wall or, by grasping extensions at each end of the top wall.
