A modular fishing tackle box includes a box portion, a lid, and a plurality of modular members detachably securable beneath the box portion and to each other. The modular members can each include one or more transversely slidable drawers for containing fishing tackle or the like, accessible without detachment of the modular members from the box portion. Alternatively, the modular members can themselves be dimensioned to receive tackle therein, and moved with respect to the box portion or associated members so as to expose the fishing tackle for use. The modular members are connected to the box portion or each other by a pair of spaced slidable tongue and groove joints on the top and bottom of each member, and the bottom of the box portion. The joints are each formed as a pair of L-shaped flanges. The fishing tackle box is constructed throughout from an inert, molded plastic material, resistant to rusting and corrosion, especially from salt water.
