Disclosed is a storage container enclosing a plurality of spools for receiving filament such a fishing tippet line. The spools are positioned adjacent to each other on separate shafts and rotate independently. Each spool may be removed from its shaft in the container, and a length of tippet line may be conveniently wound around each spool outside of the container. The spools are then returned to their respective shafts in the container. The free end of each spooled tippet line is threaded through an access hole in the side of the container and extends across the outside of the storage container to a structure that conveniently holds and cuts the tippet line. A desired length of tippet line may be withdrawn through the access hole and cut. The storage container is preferably relatively thin and compact. It may be small enough to fit within an average-sized pocket in a fisher's clothing. When the lid of the storage container is closed, the lines on the spools are protected from tangling and unwinding.

1. A container for holding and dispensing at least three filaments, the container comprising: a rectangular container body having a base with a bottom portion and a sidewall portion comprising first, second, third, and fourth sides, the base being pivotally attached to a lid with a top portion and a sidewall portion, the base and lid forming a cavity therebetween; at least three axially separated shafts extending into said cavity, each of said shafts having approximately the same length; the distance between the bottom portion of the base and the top portion of the lid being approximately equal to the length of the shafts; at least three access holes comprising first, second, and third access holes extending through the sidewall of the container, each of the access holes being adapted to permit one of said filaments to pass therethrough, said first access holes being located on said first side of the container and said second and third access holes being located on said second side of the container which is opposite from the first side; at least three indentations comprising first, second, and third indentations in the sidewall of the container, each of the indentations being proximal to one of said access holes, said first indentations being located on said first side of the container and said second and third indentations being located on said second side of the container which is opposite from the first side; at least three cutters comprising first, second, and third cutters located on the container, each of said cutters being proximal to one of said access holes and one of said indentations and being adapted to cut and hold at least one of said filaments, said first cutter being located on said first side of the container and said second and third cutters being located on said second side of the container which is opposite from the first side; and wherein said first indentation is located between said first access hole and said first cutter, said second indentation is located between said second access hole and said second cutter, and said third indentation is located between said third access hole and said third cutter. 2. The container of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the container lid is transparent to permit viewing the contents of the cavity. 3. The container of claim 1, further comprising spools adapted to be removable from the shafts. 4. The container of claim 3, wherein each of the spools is labeled with one or more letters to allow visual identification of a feature of a filament wound around the spools. 5. The container of claim 4, wherein the length of the container is at least about twice as large as the width of the container. 6. The container of claim 5, wherein the thickness of the container is substantially smaller than the width of the container.
