An injection stretch blow-molded (ISBM) container prepared by way of injection molding a tubular preform followed by reheating and concurrently stretching and blow-molding the heated preform into the container. The container and preform comprise from 70 wt. % to 97.5 wt. % of a semi-crystalline polyolefin composition comprising one or polymers selected from polyethylene polymers and polypropylene polymers and from 2.5 wt. % to 30 wt. % of an alicyclic polyolefin composition, wherein the alicyclic polyolefin composition has a glass transition temperature, Tg, of from 60° to 145° C.

A beverage container useful for fishing includes a recessed channel for receiving and dispensing fishing line. 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.

A melt-blend resin composition prepared by melt-blending includes from 60 parts to 99 parts per hundred weight resin in the blend of an amorphous cycloolefin polymer composition exhibiting a glass transition temperature in the range of from 30&#xb0; C. to 200&#xb0; C.; and from 40 parts to 1 part per hundred weight resin in the blend of a partially crystalline, cycloolefin elastomer of norbornene and ethylene preferably having a glass transition temperature in the range of from &#x2212;10&#xb0; C. to 15&#xb0; C. and a crystalline melting temperature in the range of from 60&#xb0; C. to 125&#xb0; C. and a % crystallinity by weight in the range of from 5% to 40%. The partially crystalline, cycloolefin elastomer optionally has a second glass transition temperature at less than &#x2212;90&#xb0; C.
