Abstract: A fishing pole for twilight, night, and early morning use. The pole has a light source for providing rod glow to assist in monitoring rod movement, and a glow controller for selectively varying the intensity of rod glow to assist in baiting and other tasks. Alternative embodiments are also disclosed in which light is selectively emitted from the pole handle to provide visibility for baiting and other tasks.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for storing pallets or freight externally of a tractor trailer truck. The pallet storage apparatus generally comprises a planar rigid support frame dimensioned for disposition under the trailer of a tractor-trailer truck against the underside thereof forward of the rear wheels and members for suspending the frame from the trailer at a selectively variable but substantially uniform distance from the underside of the trailer between a first position adjacent the underside of the trailer when it is desirable to carry pallets internally of the trailer and a second position spaced from the underside of the trailer when it is desirable to carry pallets on said support frame externally of the trailer to thereby free the space internal of the trailer for cargo.
