A display support for supporting objects may comprise at least two elongated support elements connected together and movable between a collapsed storage condition with a relatively reduced overall length and an extended use condition with a relatively increased overall length. At least two hooks may be mounted on the support elements with at least one of the hooks being mounted on each of the support elements such that the hooks are moved toward each other in the collapsed condition and away from each other in the use condition.

A floating bobber system for fishing which generates aquatic sounds that includes a floating bobber body having a water-tight hollow body interior and configured to at least partially float when arranged within a body of water. The system further includes an electronic circuit arranged within the body interior of the floating bobber body, the electronic circuit including a controller having reversibly programmable memory capable of replacaebly storing one or more aquatic sounds thereon, the controller being operationally coupled to a speaker for emitting the one or more aquatic sounds, a power source for providing power to the controller, and activation electronics for activating emission of the aquatic sounds from the speaker. The floating bobber body is configured to be coupled to a fishing line, and further configured to be coupled to a fishing bait.

A system for repelling sharks is disclosed. Magnets are connected to a rod along its length. If necessary, the rod may be extended. Additionally, one or more flotation devices may be connected to the rod to manipulate or adjust the buoyancy of the system, depending on the user's objective(s). The rod is connected to a fishing line once a fish is hooked and is in close proximity to the boat or other structure from which the fisherman is fishing. The weight of the rod and magnets cause the rod to slide down to the end of the fishing line, where the rod will come in contact with the hooked mouth of the fish. As the fish struggles during the fight, the rod creates a protective magnetic field around the fish to deter sharks from engaging the fish.

A multiple mode fishing lure that includes a main body portion having a waterproof inner capsule, the waterproof inner capsule containing an electronic circuit to produce sounds which mimic bait fish. The electronic circuit includes a controller having pre-recorded bait fish sounds replaceably stored thereon and operationally coupled to a speaker to broadcast the bait fish sounds, a power source for providing power to the components of the electronic circuit, and a plurality of electrodes, wherein each electrode can be actuated, and wherein actuation of at least one of the plurality of electrodes gives an operational result. The multiple mode fishing lure further includes at least one hook coupled to the main body.
