Storage device for crawler harness fishing system

A storage device for a fishing lure, the storage device comprising:

• a spool having a longitudinal axis extending between a first end of the spool and a second end of the spool;
• wherein the spool comprises (i) a first outer diameter at the first end of the spool, (ii) a second outer diameter at the second end of the spool, and (iii) a third outer diameter at a central region of the spool between the first end and the second end, and wherein the third outer diameter is less than the first outer diameter and the second outer diameter
• a flange extending radially from the spool at the first end, wherein the flange comprises a first side and a second side opposite the first side, and wherein a circumferential edge of the flange extends between the first side and the second side;
• wherein a slot extends radially inward from the circumferential edge of the flange and toward the longitudinal axis of the spool;
• wherein a hook receiving recess extends radially inward from the circumferential edge of the flange between the first side and the second side;
• and
• wherein a cylindrical passage extends partially through the spool and along the longitudinal axis from the second end toward the first end of the spool.

A storage system for a fishing lure, the storage system comprising:

• a mounting rack comprising a plate and a peg extending from the plate;
• a storage device configured to retain a fishing lure disposed thereat, wherein, when the storage device is stored at the mounting rack, the storage device is rotatably disposed along the peg of the mounting rack;
• wherein the storage device comprises a spool having a longitudinal axis extending between a first end of the spool and a second end of the spool;
• wherein a flange extends radially from the spool at the first end, wherein the flange comprises a first side and a second side opposite the first side, and wherein a circumferential edge of the flange extends between the first side and the second side;
• wherein a slot extends radially inward from the circumferential edge of the flange and toward the longitudinal axis of the spool;
• wherein a hook receiving recess extends radially inward from the circumferential edge of the flange between the first side and the second side;
• wherein a cylindrical passage extends through the spool and along the longitudinal axis between the first end and the second end of the spool, and wherein the peg is received along the cylindrical passage to store the storage device at the mounting rack;
• wherein, when the fishing lure is disposed at the storage device, the slot receives a leader line of the fishing lure so that a connecting element at a first end of the leader line is disposed at the first side of the flange;
• wherein, when the fishing lure is disposed at the storage device, the spool is configured to receive a length of the leader line between the first end of the leader line received at the slot and a second end of the leader line opposite the first end so that the leader line is wrapped about the spool;
• and
• wherein the hook receiving recess is configured to receive a hook at the second end of the leader line to secure the second end of the leader line relative to the spool when the connecting element is disposed at the first side of the flange and the leader line is wrapped about the spool.
