In the closed configuration, the tackle item is held securely with a portion of the tackle item protruding from an elongated slot formed in the tackle retention end of the enclosure. A plurality of fishing lines can be held securely in the enclosure with a portion of each fishing line protruding from the enclosure on the tackle retention end and the second end of the enclosure.
