A tackle container with barriers extending across the bottom of the
interior cavity holds fishing lures in a fixed position and allows easy
retrieval of each lure. Each barrier in the container includes a curved
wall that converges with the bottom of the container. The barrier thereby
forms a nesting space between the backside of the curved wall and the
bottom of the container. A fishing lure fits under a barrier with its
hooks wedged into the nesting space to hold the lure in a desired
position. The barriers may be removable inserts having rails that slide
into slots along the sidewall of the container. The inserts may be
positioned in a variety of configurations.
