An improved fish hook with two eyelets to be used for fishing. A primary eyelet located at the top of the fish hook and a secondary eyelet located at the bottom. The primary eyelet would generally be affixed to a fishing lure or line while the secondary eyelet could have various appendages attached by split ring and or swivels, much like a vehicle with a trailer hitch can connect to various trailers. Attached appendages would consist of but not be limited to metal or synthetic blades commonly referred to as “Willow Leaf”, “Colorado” and “Indiana” forms, additional fishing hooks or hook, fishing line, barbed shafts or shaft and various plastic imitation baits such as crawfish, grubs, worms and minnows.

The “Cast-Away Bobber” has an operation similar to other slip bobbers but it's make-up and performance are uniquely different. It has a hollow vertical tube through the center with a tubular pierced glass bead through which the fishing line is feed which won't wear out over extended usage. The two piece bonded float assembly has a make up of a closed cell light weight plastic foam for the upper section and a heavier foam rubber base for the bottom section, both sections are bonded together and then coated with several applications of different plastic dip paint for greater visibility and giving the bobber years of performance even if it's accidentally stepped on. The heavier foam rubber base gives the bobber a natural weight for a longer and more accurate cast even in windy conditions. The heavier base also gives the “Cast-Away Bobber” a somewhat angular position when floating in the water without adding additional weight or a sinker, however it is recommended to add a 0.4 oz (ounce) fishing weight to bring it to the total vertical position in the water and lighter weights for the smaller diameter bobbers The diameter of the “Cast-Away Bobber” varies from ¾″ (inch) diameter to 1¼″ (inch) diameter (as shown and submitted) in increments of ⅛″ and up to 2″ (inch) diameter bobber which is strictly used for musky and northern fishing (in fresh water lakes) and is able to hold a live minnow at a fixed depth without being pulled under as with the smaller diameter bobbers The 2″ diameter bobbers needs no sinker to make it stand upright in the water.

A solar temp regulator for the seawater used to culture the minnow is composed of solar heat collector with water inlet tube and water outlet tube, hot water collecting tank connected to the water outlet tube of solar heat collector, control cabinet, hot water accumulating tank, pump and water returning tube connected to pump.

A joint type minnow having a body which is formed so as to imitate a bait fish and divided into a main body portion and a tail portion so that the main body portion and the tail portion are mutually swingably joined to each other through a latch structure, is further equipped with a structure for regulating the mutual swing motion between the main body portion and the tail portion. The structure regulates the swing motion of the tail portion at a casting time to reduce air resistance, thereby avoiding reduction in flight distance of the lure.

The invention relates to the field of cuttlefish seedling raising breeding, in particular to a seedling breeding method of pharaoh cuttlefish. The method comprises the steps of 1) construction of a spawning breeding pond; 2) optimization of the spawning breeding pond; 3) putting of pharaoh cuttlefish parents; 4) strengthening culture; 5) egg collection; 6) hatching; 7) seedling raising. During strengthening culture, argyrosomus argentatus or minnows containing additives capable of improving the reproductive performance of the parent pharaoh cuttlefish are adopted as baits; during hatching, thewater is controlled to be increased and decreased to simulate the water pressure change of tide rising and falling of the sea; during seedling raising, seedlings are fed to a growing stage with a series of baits including artemia nauplii, copepods, live possum shrimp larvae and dead possum shrimps in sequence. The method helps to accelerate the gonad maturation, improves the gonad development process, shortens the spawning cycle, significantly increases the hatching rate of fertilized eggs, significantly improves the robustness of the cuttlefish larvae, reduces the number of dead eggs and dead seedlings, improves the seedling raising efficiency, and increases economic benefits.

A container for animals or objects in a liquid is disclosed. The container comprises a cylinder capped by two removable lids and a floating basket.
