Abstract An open top compartmented lid is integrally formed of plastic and has a plurality of generally rectangular compartments of varying sizes formed centrally in the upper surface thereof to receive a plurality of fishing tackle items supported therein temporarily while other items are being used for fishing. A support for a fishing rod is formed in the plastic lid and includes a well to receive the reel on the rod without requiring the removal therefrom. A plurality of stiffening members extend waffle-like across two end portions of the lid for strengthening the lid and providing small compartments for temporarily storing relatively small items of fishing gear or tackle. The lid includes substantially upright side walls supporting a generally horizontal top wall integrally formed thereon.
