Abstract: A leveling apparatus includes at least two scales defined by enclosed receptacles, each having a cavity and a port into the cavity. Each receptacle also preferably has a top wall with a convex inner surface defining the top of the cavity. The top wall also preferably has a concave outer surface. The receptacles are connected through their ports in a common closed fluid communication system which is preferably only partially filled with a liquid sensitive to the levelness of a surface to be tested. The apparatus is spread across a surface whose levelness is to be tested, and the levelness is indicated by the relationships between the surfaces of the liquid in the scales and elevation indicating indicia on the scales as observed through the preferably concave top wall of each receptacle.

Abstract: A fishing lure having a forward body portion and a tail portion movably attached to the forward body portion. A diving plane is secured to, and projects forwardly and downwardly from the front end of the forward body portion. The tail section is a two-part structure having a top half and an interlocked bottom half. The bottom half carries a post projecting upwardly to serve as an anchor point for a hook hanger which extends outwardly from the rear of the lure. A neck projects from the tail section forwardly toward the forward body portion, and carries a ball which is held within a socket defined in the forward body portion.
