Abstract:

A hook and leader storage box for fishermen, in most cases, a container used for holding factory tied fish hooks, hand tied fish hooks, and hand tied fishing leaders, that is buoyant and will float. The hook and leader storage box for fishermen is used in most cases for storage of tied hooks to fishing line. The top and bottom of each side of the hinged folding halves are notched for the loop on the end of the fishing line to secure to. Dowels for holding the loops of a snelled hook are also used. Under each notch is a hole for an elastic loop to be drawn through and fastened over the notch to secure the elastic loop. The elastic loop is pulled down to the fishing hook for attachment of the fishing hook to the elastic loop. When the elastic loop and fishing hook are attached it secures the hook and line within the hook and leader storage box. There are no lines or hooks outside the hook and leader storage box to catch on or be damaged by any other equipment while fishing.
