Abstract
A fishing lure holder is specifically designed to retain trolling lures which are not in use and includes the use of a plurality of steel spring clips positioned on opposed sides of an elongated, flat aluminum plate. In this respect, the aluminum plate has one steel spring clip attached on one side by means of a rivet and washer arrangement, while two spring clips are attached to the other side of the plate, also through the use of rivets and washers. A small trolling lure may then be retained on the side of the aluminum plate having the single spring clip, while a larger trolling lure may be retained on the opposed side of the plate having the two spring clips.
