Modular fishing lure holder
A modular fishing lure holder includes a generally cylindrical lure housing having an outer housing clip that serves to attach the holder to a user's person. The housing clip may be integral with the lure holder body or it may be incorporated in a frictionally fitted collar. Exterior clamps or hinge accessories may be provided to allow for a plurality of the lure holders to be linked together. The outer housing clip also includes a cylindrical clip attachment with a hook shaft clamp near one of the lure housing ends to frictionally hold the lure in place by sliding the hook therein.
Fishing rod holder and retainer
A fishing rod holder and retainer include a top plate that includes a main opening, and a retainer opening. A cylindrical tube extends downwardly at an angle away from the top plate. A rod retainer includes a retainer cable having a retainer clasp adjacent the retainer opening. A retainer channel is coupled to the top plate and aligned with the retainer opening and configured to extend downwardly to guide the retainer cable so that the cable extends down into the retainer channel. A biasing device is coupled to the retainer cable and configured to bias the retainer cable downwardly within the retainer channel.

Fishing Knot Protector
A fishing knot protector is provided to protect the knot between a fishing line and lure or other fishing accessory. The fishing knot protector is preferably formed in a conical shape with an interior passageway or void configured for housing the knot to be protected. Preferably the interior passageway includes two cavities with one formed to protect the knot in the fishing line and the second to house the eye of the device to which the line is attached. The two cavities are aligned between the tip and the base of the knot protector. The cavity nearest the base preferably has a flange that serves as the base and has an opening for insertion of the eye of the hook through the opening. Preferably the flange is configured with a material and size that secures the eye of the hook in the cavity proximate the base. A guide line or wire can be provided to assist in directing the fishing line through the knot protector to be secured to the eye of the hook or other accessory device, such as a swivel.
Fishing tackle box
A box for transporting fishing tackle. The tackle box may include a tackle box housing having a rigid outer shell enclosing a first internal cavity and with openings at a front and back end, which may be covered by adjustable closure panels that themselves have receptacles for fishing tackle. The tackle box housing may further include an inside wall, or multiple such walls, having a plurality of lure retaining holes disposed therethrough, each of the lure retaining holes defined by the inside wall having a substantially round wide portion and at least one substantially rectangular narrow portion extending from the wide portion. This wall may be integrated with the tackle box housing or may be provided in a separate insert, and may be formed from a transparent material if desired. Other containers, such as drawers, may also be provided in the tackle box housing or in the insert.

Portable fish cleaning device
A portable fish cleaning assembly includes a platform that has a drink aperture, a tool aperture, a plurality of hook apertures and a pair of storage holes each extending therethrough. A pair of grapples is each removably coupled to the platform. Each of the grapples releasably engages a top pier rail having the platform being horizontally oriented on the top pier rail. In this way a fish can be positioned on the platform for filleting the fish. A pair of legs is each pivotally coupled to the platform. Each of the legs extends downwardly from the platform when the legs are positioned in a deployed position. In this way each of the legs abuts horizontal pier rails thereby retaining the platform in the horizontal orientation. A clamp is pivotally coupled to the platform to engage the fish for retaining the fish on the platform for filleting the fish.
