An enclosure for a fishing lure includes first and second panels pivotally attached at a pivoting joint. The panels define an interior cavity shaped for housing a fishing lure. The enclosure can be positioned radially onto a fishing rod for protectively covering a fishing lure while the lure is temporarily stored on the rod. The enclosure includes first and second flanges that extend outwardly from the enclosure. The enclosure can be manually opened and closed by squeezing the flanges toward each other. A spring can be disposed between the first and second panels along the pivoting joint for biasing the enclosure in a closed position. The spring in some embodiments includes a torsion spring with a first end extending into the first flange and a second end extending into the second flange. The first and second panels can include a buoyant material for providing floatation to the enclosure apparatus. A liner can also be positioned inside the interior cavity for preventing a hook from puncturing the first and second panels.
