The container with a fishing line spool is configured such that a hand-line-fishing device is provided without the need for a fishing pole. Optionally, the spool is removable from the beverage container body and may be rotatably mounted with respect thereto. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A beverage container and hand-line-fishing device comprising: (a) a resealable beverage container with a container body having a sidewall and having a characteristic diameter, D, the beverage container having a fill volume of not less than 80 ml nor more than 4000 ml; and (b) a recessed channel disposed about the container body or juxtaposed therewith configured to spool fishing line, wherein the channel has a depth of at least 0.5 cm and a span of at least 1 cm. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The beverage container and hand-line-fishing device according to claim 1, wherein the recessed channel has a depth of at least 1 cm. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The beverage container and hand-line-fishing device according to claim 1, wherein the recessed channel has a depth of at least 2 cm. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The beverage container and hand-line-fishing device according to claim 1, wherein the recessed channel has a depth of from 1 cm to 3 cm. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The beverage container and hand-line-fishing device according to claim 1, wherein the recessed channel has a span of from 1 cm to 6 cm. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The beverage container and hand-line-fishing device according to claim 5, wherein the recessed channel has a span of at least 2 cm. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The beverage container and hand-line-fishing device according to claim 5, wherein the recessed channel has a span of at least 3 cm. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The beverage container and hand-line-fishing device according to claim 1, wherein the recessed channel has from 5 meters to 100 meters of fishing line spooled therein. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The beverage container and hand-line-fishing device according to claim 1, wherein the tubular container body is cylindrical. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The beverage container and hand-line-fishing device according to claim 1, wherein the container body is an elongated tubular body. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The beverage container and hand-line-fishing device according to claim 10, wherein the elongated tubular body is a tapered tubular body adapted for use as a hand grip. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The beverage container and hand-line-fishing device according to claim 1, wherein the recessed channel is circular and juxtaposed with a lower terminus of the sidewall of the container body and is configured such that the channel surfaces have a perimeter at their inner portions with a diameter less than characteristic diameter, D, and extend inwardly a depth, d, such that the ratio of d/D is from 0.5 to 0.05. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The beverage container and hand-line-fishing device according to claim 1, wherein the recessed channel is circular and juxtaposed with a lower terminus of the sidewall of the container body and is configured such that the channel surfaces have a perimeter at their inner portions with a diameter less than characteristic diameter, D, and extend inwardly a depth, d, such that the ratio of d/D is from 0.4 to 0.1. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The beverage container and hand-line-fishing device according to claim 1, wherein the recessed channel is circular and juxtaposed with a lower terminus of the cylindrical sidewall of the container body and is configured such that the channel surfaces have a perimeter at their inner portions with a diameter less than characteristic diameter, D, and extend inwardly a depth, d, such that the ratio of d/D is from 0.4 to 0.15. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The beverage container and hand-line-fishing device according to claim 1, wherein the container body has a height, H, and the ratio of H/D is from 2 to 6. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The beverage container and hand-line-fishing device according to claim 1, wherein the sidewall of the container body defines the recessed channel. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The beverage container and hand-line-fishing device according to claim 1, wherein the container body and recessed channel are fabricated as part of separate components. ### Claim 18 A beverage container and hand-line-fishing device comprising: (a) a resealable beverage container with a container body, the beverage container having a fill volume of not less than 80 ml nor more than 4000 ml; and (b) a spooling member mounted to the container body having a recessed channel configured to spool fishing line, wherein the channel has a depth of at least 0.5 cm and a span of at least 1 cm. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The beverage container and hand-line-fishing device according to claim 18, wherein the spooling member is mounted to a lower terminus of the beverage container body. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The beverage container and hand-line-fishing device according to claim 19, wherein the spooling member is rotatably mounted to the beverage container body.
