tacklebox

Lure storage case

A tacklebox is a container for storing fishing gear—hooks, lures, sinkers, line, and other small equipment.

Traditional tackleboxes have hinged trays that fold out to reveal compartments of various sizes.

The word extends to any similar organizer with small compartments: She keeps her jewelry in an old tacklebox.
