Lure storage device

1. A lure storage device comprising:

a tray having a bottom wall and a peripheral wall extending upwardly from a peripheral edge of said bottom wall defining an interior space of said tray;

a support positioned in said interior space of said tray, said support having an upper surface;

a plurality of depressions into said upper surface of said support, each depression being shaped such that said depressions are configured to abut a first lateral side of a respective fishing lure such that a second lateral side of the respective fishing lure is displayed on said tray; and

a plurality of hook apertures extending into said support, each hook aperture being positioned adjacent to and extending further into said support from an associated one of said depressions wherein each of said hook apertures is configured for receiving a hook from the respective fishing lure positioned on the associated one of said depressions.

2. The device of claim 1 , further comprising each depression having a front projection configured to snugly receive a portion of the fishing lure to prevent the fishing lure from moving when the fishing lure is positioned in the depression.

3. The device of claim 1 , further comprising each depression being structured wherein each depression is configured to angle a front of the fishing lure upwardly relative to a back of the fishing lure.

4. The device of claim 1 , further comprising each hook aperture being cylindrical extending perpendicular to the bottom wall of the tray.

5. The device of claim 1 , further comprising each hook aperture being cylindrical extending at a non-right angle from the bottom wall of the tray.

6. The device of claim 1 , further comprising each hook aperture having a cross-sectional shape perpendicular to a central axis of the hook aperture, the cross-sectional shape being one shape chosen from a group of shapes consisting of circular and oval.

7. The device of claim 1 , further comprising each hook aperture extending fully through the support.

8. The device of claim 1 , further comprising the support having a lower surface, the lower surface being spaced from the bottom wall of the tray.

9. The device of claim 1 , further comprising each hook aperture having an inner size wherein an interior surface of the hook aperture is configured to be spaced slightly from the hook positioned in the hook aperture.

10. The device of claim 1 , further comprising a lid coupled to the tray.

11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the lid is fully removable from the tray.

12. The device of claim 10 , wherein the lid forms a waterproof seal with the tray when the lid is in a closed position on the tray.

13. The device of claim 8 , further comprising a pad, the pad being water absorbent, the pad being positionable between the lower surface of the support and the bottom wall of the tray.

14. The device of claim 1 , further comprising the support being constructed of a buoyant material wherein the tray and support are configured to float if the tray and support are dropped in water.

15. The device of claim 14 wherein the support is constructed of a crosslinked polyethylene foam.

16. A lure storage device comprising:

a tray having a bottom wall and a peripheral wall extending upwardly from a peripheral edge of said bottom wall defining an interior space of said tray;

a support positioned in said interior space of said tray, said support having an upper surface, the support having a lower surface, the lower surface being spaced from the bottom wall of the tray, the support being constructed of a buoyant material wherein the tray and support are configured to float if the tray and support are dropped in water, the support being constructed of a crosslinked polyethylene foam;

a plurality of depressions into said upper surface of said support, each depression being shaped such that said depressions are configured to abut a first lateral side of a respective fishing lure such that a second lateral side of the respective fishing lure is displayed on said tray, each depression having a front projection configured to snugly receive a portion of the fishing lure to prevent the fishing lure from moving when the fishing lure is positioned in the depression, each depression being structured wherein each depression is configured to angle a front of the fishing lure upwardly relative to a back of the fishing lure; and

a plurality of hook apertures extending into said support, each hook aperture being positioned adjacent to and extending further into said support from an associated one of said depressions wherein each of said hook apertures is configured for receiving a hook from the respective fishing lure positioned on the associated one of said depressions, each hook aperture being cylindrical extending perpendicular to the bottom wall of the tray, each hook aperture being cylindrical extending at a non-right angle from the bottom wall of the tray, each hook aperture having a cross-sectional shape perpendicular to a central axis of the hook aperture, the cross-sectional shape being one shape chosen from a group of shapes consisting of circular and oval, each hook aperture extending fully through the support, each hook aperture having an inner size wherein an interior surface of the hook aperture is configured to be spaced slightly from the hook positioned in the hook aperture;

a lid coupled to the tray, the lid being fully removable from the tray, the lid forming a waterproof seal with the tray when the lid is in a closed position on the tray; and

a pad, the pad being water absorbent, the pad being positionable between the lower surface of the support and the bottom wall of the tray.
