Abstract

A fishing cooler for a beverage container. The fishing cooler preferably has a container insulator with a spool disposed thereon. Optionally, a lure holder can be incorporated into or otherwise attached to the container insulator. A cleat can also optionally be provided on the container insulator. Most preferably, fishing line is wrapped around the spool such that a user can hand-fish while grasping the fishing cooler.

Claims (42)

1. A fishing cooler comprising:

a fishing lure;

a container insulator comprising a first outside circumference, said container insulator further comprising an inside opening configured to at least partially encircle a beverage container;

a spool disposed on a side of said container insulator, said spool comprising a second outside circumference, said spool positioned such that a primary axis of said spool is at least substantially normal to a primary axis of said container insulator;

said spool comprising a conical or frustoconical shape positioned such that an outside end portion of said spool comprises lamer diameter than a central portion of said spool;

fishing line, said fishing line comprising a first end portion and a second end portion;

said first end portion of said fishing line connected to said spool;

said second end portion of said fishing line configured to connect to said fishing lure; and

wherein said second outside circumference is less than said first outside circumference.

2. The fishing cooler of claim 1 wherein said spool is positioned on a vertical side of said container insulator when said container insulator is positioned upright with its primary axis oriented vertically.

3. The fishing cooler of claim 1 further comprising a cleat disposed on a side of said container insulator.

4. The fishing cooler of claim 1 further comprising a lure holder.

5. The fishing cooler of claim 4 wherein said lure holder is positioned on a vertical side of container insulator when said container insulator is positioned upright with its primary axis oriented vertically.

6. The fishing cooler of claim 4 wherein said lure holder comprises a flexible material disposed on an outside of said container insulator.

7. The fishing cooler of claim 1 wherein said container insulator comprises an opening in a bottom thereof when said container insulator is positioned upright with its primary axis oriented vertically.

8. A fishing cooler comprising:

a fishing lure;

a container insulator comprising an inside opening configured to at least partially encircle a beverage container;

a spool disposed on a side of said container insulator, said spool positioned such that a primary axis of said spool is at least substantially normal to a primary axis of said container insulator;

said spool comprising a conical or frustoconical shape positioned such that an outside end portion of said spool comprises larger diameter than a central portion of said spool;

fishing line, said fishing line comprising a first end portion and a second end portion;

said first end portion of said fishing line connected to said spool;

said second end portion of said fishing line configured to connect to said fishing lure; and

a lure holder.

9. The fishing cooler of claim 8 wherein said lure holder comprises a flexible material disposed on an outside of said container insulator.

10. The fishing cooler of claim 8 wherein said spool is disposed on a vertical side of said container insulator when said container insulator is positioned upright with its primary axis oriented vertically.

11. The fishing cooler of claim 8 further comprising a cleat disposed on a side of said container insulator.

12. The fishing cooler of claim 8 wherein said container insulator is formed from a closed-cell foam.

13. The fishing cooler of claim 12 wherein said closed-cell foam of said container insulator comprises a rubber or plastic coating applied thereto.

14. The fishing cooler of claim 8 wherein said container insulator is formed from a flexible material.

15. The fishing cooler of claim 8 further comprising fishing line tied to said spool.

16. The fishing cooler of claim 8 wherein said container insulator comprises an opening disposed in a bottom thereof when said container insulator is positioned upright with its primary axis oriented vertically.

17. A fishing cooler comprising:

a fishing lure;

a container insulator comprising an inside opening configured to at least partially encircle a beverage container;

a spool disposed on a vertical side of said container insulator when said container insulator is positioned upright with its primary axis oriented vertically, said spool positioned such that a primary axis of said spool is at least substantially normal to a primary axis of said container insulator;

said spool comprising a conical or frustoconical shape positioned such that an outside end portion of said spool comprises larger diameter than a central portion of said spool;

fishing line, said fishing line comprising a first end portion and a second end portion;

said first end portion of said fishing line connected to said spool;

said second end portion of said fishing line configured to connect to said fishing lure,

a cleat disposed on said vertical side of said container insulator; and

a lure holder disposed on said vertical side of said container insulator.
