A snell holding and storing device comprises an inner holder portion and an outer holder portion. The inner holder portion includes a snell holder that extends downwardly and into the outer holder portion when the inner portion and the outer portion are attached to one another. Preferably, the outer holder portion is comprised of a material that allows the user to visualize the contents of the device. The snell holder provides a plurality of transversely-disposed and circumferentially-cut slots for retention of a snell within such slots.

The details of the invention having been disclosed in accordance with the foregoing, I claim: 1. A snell holding and storing device that comprises: an inner holder portion, an outer holder portion, the outer holder portion having a floor, means for sealingly attaching the inner holder portion to the outer holder portion, a snell holder portion, the snell holder portion being attached to the inner holder portion and extending downwardly and into the outer holder portion when the inner portion and the outer portion are attached to one another, the snell holder portion further comprising a resilient foamed plastic material having a hollow center disposed axially within the snell holder portion and having a lowermost portion, the snell holder portion further comprising a plurality of substantially transversely-disposed and circumferentially-cut slots defined within the resilient foamed plastic material for pinching and retaining a snell within each such slot for organizing a plurality of snells disposed on said snell holder portion, a pipe-like structure extending axially within the hollow center of the snell holder portion, a portion of the pipe-like structure being disposed at the lowermost portion of the snell holder portion, a hollow protective member that is inserted into the portion of the pipe-like structure that is disposed at the lowermost portion of the snell holder portion, and an inwardly extending projection disposed on the floor within the outer holder portion, wherein engagement of the hollow protective member with the inwardly extending projection of the outer holder portion centers the inner holder portion relative to the outer holder portion and stabilizes an axial position of the inner holder portion relative to the outer holder portion. 2. The snell holding and storing device of claim 1 wherein the outer holder portion is comprised of a material that allows the user to visualize the contents of the device. 3. The snell holding and storing device of claim 1 wherein the outer holder portion is a jar-like structure that is made of a clear and resilient plastic material. 4. The snell holding and storing device of claim 1 wherein the outer holder portion comprises a cylindrically-shaped and continuous sidewall, the sidewall including an uppermost portion and a lowermost portion, the lowermost portion being integrally-formed with the floor and the inwardly extending projection being centrally disposed and integrally-formed on the floor. 5. The snell holding and storing device of claim 4 wherein the uppermost portion of the sidewall of the outer holder portion comprises outer threads that allow the outer holder portion to be secured to a like-threaded object. 6. The snell holding and storing device of claim 5 wherein the inner holder portion comprises a cap-like member having inner threads that are functionally adapted to engage the outer threads of the outer holder sidewall. 7. The snell holding and storing device of claim 1 wherein the snell holder portion comprises a brightly-colored foamed plastic material. 8. A snell holding and storing device that comprises: an inner holder portion, the inner holder portion comprising a round cap-like member having an underside and a substantially cylindrically-shaped snell holder portion, the snell holder portion having a length and being secured to the underside of the cap-like member and comprising a hollow that extends axially within and along the length of the snell holder portion, the snell holder portion further comprising a resilient foamed plastic material having a plurality of substantially transversely-disposed and circumferentially-cut slots defined within the resilient foamed plastic material for pinching and retaining a snell within each such slot for organizing a plurality of snells disposed on said snell holder portion, a pipe-like structure disposed within the snell holder hollow, the pipe-like structure extending from the cap-like member within and along the length of the snell holder portion and having a lowermost portion, an outer holder portion, the outer holder portion comprising a cylindrically-shaped and continuous sidewall, the sidewall including an uppermost portion and a lowermost portion, the lowermost portion being integrally-formed with a floor, a hollow protective member that is inserted into the lowermost portion of the pipe-like structure, an upwardly extending projection that is integrally-formed and centrally-disposed on the floor of the lowermost portion within the outer holder portion, the upwardly extending projection being receivable within the hollow protective member, and means for releasably attaching the cap-like member of the inner holder portion to the uppermost portion of the outer holder portion sidewall, wherein receipt of the upwardly extending projection within the hollow protective member centers the inner holder portion relative to the outer holder portion and retains an axial position of the inner holder portion relative to the outer holder portion when the cap-like member of the inner holder portion is attached to the outer holder portion. 9. The snell holding and storing device of claim 8 wherein the outer holder portion is made of a clear and resilient plastic material. 10. The snell holding and storing device of claim 8 wherein the means for releasably attaching comprises the uppermost portion of the sidewall of the outer holder portion having outer threads that allow the outer holder portion to be secured to a like-threaded object and the cap-like member of the inner holder portion has inner threads that are functionally adapted to engage the outer threads of the uppermost portion of the sidewall of the outer holder portion. 11. The snell holding and storing device of claim 8 wherein the resilient foamed plastic material of the snell holder portion comprises a brightly-colored foamed plastic material.
