A container for protecting a fishing lure from entanglement with other fishing tackle without removing the lure from its attachment to a fishing line of a fishing rod. The container comprises a relatively stiff longitudinal perimeter wall structure and spaced end walls transverse to the perimeter wall structure. The perimeter wall structure is split longitudinally into two container parts. The container may be removably mounted on a fishing rod by pivot closure of the container parts about the fishing rod shaft so as to form a protective fishing lure chamber. At least one of the transverse end walls is formed of a deformable material such that mounting the container on a fishing rod shaft causes the deformable end wall to transversely press against the rod shaft in a frictionally engaging manner that resists longitudinal slippage of the container along the rod shaft.

The combination of: a fishing rod comprising an elongate rod shaft having guide rings mounted thereon with a fishing line threaded through said guide rings and terminating in a free end, a fishing lure attached to said free end of said fishing line, and a container comprising a relatively stiff longitudinal perimeter wall structure and spaced end walls transverse to said perimeter wall structure, said perimeter wall structure of said container being split longitudinally into two container parts hinged along a longitudinal axis to permit pivot opening and closure of the parts, said container being removably mounted in a longitudinal manner on said fishing rod by pivot closure of said container parts about said fishing rod shaft so as to form a protective fishing lure chamber within which said lure is held, said container being mountable on said fishing rod shaft with said rod shaft passing through said container so as to permit mounting of said container at various locations along said rod shaft, at least one of said transverse end walls of the container being formed of a deformable material such that said deformable end wall transversely pinches and deforms against said rod shaft in a frictionally engaging manner, said frictional engagement being such as to resist longitudinal slippage of said container along said rod shaft.
