The invention is a tackle container that incorporates interchangeable and removable inserts. The inserts secure different kinds of fishing lures and baits. For example, the inserts hold segmented lures within notched upright posts. In this regard, the inserts may be suitably structured to hold spinner bait lures, buzz bait lures, or other fishing lures with segmented bodies. Moreover, the inserts are interchangeable to facilitate a wider variety of uses for the tackle container.

The container of claim 5, wherein said end wall comprises at least one connection rail positioned on an outside surface of said end wall, said at least one connection rail for slidably connecting with a corresponding connection slot in one of said four walls of said container box. 7. The container according to claim 6, wherein said end wall further comprises at least a second connection rail positioned on the outside surface of said end wall, said at least second connection rail positioned next to said at least one connection rail. 8. The container of claim 5, wherein said at least one removable insert of said plurality of removable inserts further comprises a second end wall connected to an end of said planar base opposite said end wall, said second end wall connected substantially perpendicular to said planar base. 9. The container of claim 8, wherein said second end wall comprises a first substantially vertical rail on an outside surface of said second end wall. 10. The container of claim 9, wherein said second end wall comprises a second substantially vertical rail on an outside surface of said second end wall. 11. The container of claim 1, wherein at least one wall of said four walls comprises a plurality of pairs of substantially vertical ribs defining pairs of aligned slots. 12. The container of claim 1, wherein at least one removable insert of said plurality of removable inserts further comprises a pair of end walls attached substantially perpendicularly to opposite sides of said base, each said end wall comprising a vertical rail that removably slides between a respective pair of vertical ribs on opposite sides of said sidewall. 13. The container of claim 1, further comprising a partition connected to said bottom plane and extending between two facing walls of said four walls, thereby dividing the container into two portions. 14. The container of claim 1, wherein a lure segment of a lure, placed within said notched posts is free to rotate about its axis, but is retained in within said juxtapositioned post and said corresponding juxtapositioned post. 15. The container of claim 1, wherein the container further comprises a lid attachable to said sidewall. 16.
