Abstract: An apparatus for simultaneously seeding and fertilizing agricultural crops is described which includes a seeding blade having opposed sides, a knife-like leading edge, a trailing edge and a bottom edge. A seed conduit is disposed along the trailing edge of the seeding blade and has an outlet adjacent the bottom edge. A fertilizer blade depends from one of the opposed sides of the seeding blade adjacent the bottom edge. The fertilizer blade is angled downwardly and outwardly from the seeding blade at an angle of between 10 and 40 degrees. The fertilizer blade has a knife-like leading edge, a trailing edge and a bottom edge. The trailing edge of the fertilizer blade is disposed beside and behind the trailing edge of the seeding blade. A fertilizer conduit is disposed along the trailing edge of the fertilizer blade and has an outlet adjacent the bottom edge.

Abstract: A closed face fishing reel assembly having a body, which is attachable to a fishing rod, a spool supported to the body, a winding drum rotatably supported at the forward end of the spool which may be rotated for winding line onto the spool and which may be axially advanced, a cone supported to the body forwardly of the spool, and a winding drum having a passageway therethrough, the internal shape of which defines a line confining envelope, the cone is either the outer housing or in one embodiment a separate housing is secured to the body and encompasses the spool, winding drum and cone, and a fishing line received through a the cone passageway andat least partially wound on the spool, the configuration of the body being independent of the line confining envelope provided by the cone, the cone or the housing includes a replaceable line choke for controlling casting distance and/or velocity.

Abstract: A closed face fishing reel having a body providing means for attachment to a fishing rod, a spool supported to the body, a winding drum rotatably supported at the forward end of the spool which may be rotated for winding line onto the spool and which may be axially advanced, a speed cone supported to the body forwardly of the spool, and a winding drum having a passageway therethrough, the internal shape of which defines a line confining envelope, a separate housing secured to the body and encompassing the spool, winding drum and speed cone, and a fishing line received through the speed cone passageway and at least partially wound on the spool, the configuration of the body being independent of the line confining envelope provided by the speed cone.
