A storage box for ice fishing tip-ups and related fishing tackle and equipment is especially constructed to carry a plurality of tip-ups in separate storage compartments in a manner to prevent tangling of hooks and lines with those of adjacent stored tip-ups or on the stored tip-up itself. Other compartments provide convenient storage for all of the other tackle and equipment normally needed for ice fishing and the box includes drain holes to allow water accumulating from ice on the stored equipment to drain from the box. The drain holes are disposed in the bottom panel of the box as are similar attachment holes so that two identical boxes may be attached back-to-back. The drain and the attachment holes are all selectively openable as with molded-in knockouts, so they may be utilized only if desired or necessary. The carrying handle is demountable for relocation closer to the centerline of a attached box pair to facilitate carrying.
