Abstract

Abstract A carrier for holding lures and flies has a box divided into compartments, and is received in an open top holder which has a backwall, a shorter front wall and sidewalls. The box is slidably secured in the holder through pins cooperating with elongated slots in the sides of the holder. Remote from the pins, the box has an outfolding lid hinged thereto and stops below the hinges so that the lid can serve as a horizontally disposed handling surface. Belt receiving slots are provided in the sidewalls of the holder adjacent the backwall for slidably receiving a belt secured to the wearer. The respective dimensions of the box and holder define a space therebetween which provides a sliding channel for the belt.
