Abstract
A fishing accessory apparatus or keeper that neatly stows circular fishing tackle devices such as divers along with their associated fishing line lengths and accessories. The tackle device or diver is slid by the user into a slot formed within the keeper where the associated forward and main fishing line is wrapped around the outer wall of the keeper. The fishing line is woven by the user between ergonomic protrusions with the option of further securing the line using an elastic band. Thus, the keeper includes geometric features that allow the diver and its associated line to wrap along and around its housing. Since the transition between storage and deployment is easily accomplished, the keeper allows the user a more pleasurable fishing experience.
