Abstract: A fishing lure including a wire capable of bending and retaining a body at an angle relative to a head. The angle may be between about 0° up to about 90°. The angled head and body causes the head to move back and forth through the water as the lure is being reeled, which in turn causes the body to wag.

Abstract: A fishing lure including a head and an angled body is provided. The head includes an upper surface and a lower surface. An indent or scoop is formed on the upper surface of the head. The body is attached to the head at a bend forming an angle relative to the head. The angle is between about 5° and about 30°. The indent varies in different depths, lengths and angles, which effect the unique movement of each lure. Further, the angled head and body causes the head to move back and forth through the water as the lure is being reeled, which in turn causes the tail to wag.

Abstract: A fish attractant material is provided. The fish attractant includes a fibrous material and a coating. The coating includes a polymer combined with a solvent. The coating is embedded and attached within the fibrous material. A coloring or a glow powder may be added to the coating to add additional effect. Multi-colors can be created, such as striping or the like, by double coating or by adding colors prior to drying.

Abstract: A customizable fishing lure and kit is provided. The customizable fishing lure includes a body in the shape of an animal having at least a head portion and a tail portion. The present invention further includes a customizable portion that extends from a periphery of the body. The customizable portion is planar and therefore in the shape of a flat sheet. The customizable portion may surround at least one of the head portion and the tail portion of the body. The customizable portion is made of a cuttable material so that a user may cut out a unique appendage and create a customized lure.

Abstract: A refurbished diamond jig fish lure consists of the jig body and separate tubular sleeve member and wing piece components mounted thereon. Tapered portions on the jig body, the sleeve member, and the wing piece cooperate to facilitate assembly and maintenance of the assembled unit.

Abstract: A surgical spear includes a cut sponge element that has been processed to render it at least substantially free from particulates and other debris; an eye spear comprised of an essentially particulate-free sponge element is uniquely suited for LASIK surgery. In most instances the surgical spear will be enclosed in a packaging component, which may or may not be fabricated from a water-permeable material and may or may not be left unsealed in the packaging step.

Abstract: An article for packing body cavities comprises a protective sheath of supple, smooth, polymeric film, containing an absorbent sponge or like tampon component. The sheath facilitates insertion and removal of the article by minimizing tissue attachment, adherence, abrasion, and desiccation of the tampon.

Abstract: A nasal packing article, made from a material that is expansible when wetted, is formed with a plurality of laminae that are independently movable and separable from one another, and that expand to effectively exert hemostatic pressure. The article may comprise an assembly of layers interengaged in face-to-face contact, or it may be defined by slits that extend entirely through the thickness or width of the body but terminate short of one end, to leave the laminae connected thereat.
