(below). Is made of PVA; a semi-rigid, (flexible solid), clear plastic that has the feel of firm flesh. The ballast can be fine tuned to zero buoyancy. The body is covered with thousands of shimmering and light reflecting holographic micro sequins that appear to be real fish scales. The lure makes a subtle but audible ticking sound. The lure glows from the inside-out, and leaves a powerful scent trail for the hungry predator to follow. All of the internal workings of this design are held together with an .030 ga. laser cut stainless steel line & hook-set harness plate. The lure can be painted & clear coated to a high gloss shemmering finish with flexible urethane materials from the HOUSE OF KOLOR. </B></DIV> <DIV class=s1> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV class=s1> <B><IMG SRC="pva_i000010.jpg" BORDER=0 ALIGN=MIDDLE WIDTH=264 HEIGHT=28 > </B></DIV> <DIV class=s1> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s1 style='text-align: center;'> <B><IMG SRC="pva_i000023.jpg" BORDER=0 ALIGN=MIDDLE WIDTH=300 HEIGHT=449 > </B></DIV> </TD></TR></TABLE></B></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s1 style='text-align: center;'> <B></B><TABLE style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto" WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="2" > <TR> <TD WIDTH=100% VALIGN=TOP > <DIV class=s1> <B>  </B></DIV> </TD></TR></TABLE></B></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s1 style='text-align: center;'> <B></B></DIV> </TD> <TD WIDTH=50% VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s32 style='text-align: center;'> <TABLE style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto" WIDTH="460" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="2" > <TR> <TD WIDTH=100% VALIGN=TOP > <DIV class=s32>  <FONT style='color:#808080;'><B>Page 1. of 2.                Go to Page 2.

However; TFI did invent a methodology for making fishing lures from PVA. PVA has been around for a long time. PVA is a common hot melt adhesive primarily used in the packaging industry. Most people are familiar with PVA as the common hot melt, glue stick. There are over 30 different formulations of packaging PVA; from worm-like soft, to near brittle. Some are crystal clear, and some  are opaque colors.  The inherent qualities of PVA make it the ideal, low cost, and easy to use material for Making solid, but flexible clear plastic lure bodies. </B></FONT></DIV> </TD></TR></TABLE></B></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s1 style='text-align: center;'> <B></B><FONT style='color:#FFFFFF;font-size:8pt;'><B>8 </B></FONT></DIV> <DIV class=s1> <B></B><TABLE WIDTH="98%" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="6" CELLSPACING="2" > <TR> <TD WIDTH=50% VALIGN=TOP > <DIV ALIGN=center class=s1 style='text-align: center;'> <B></B><FONT style='color:#800000;'><B>A sample page from BOOK #3 - Lure Making </B></FONT></DIV> <DIV class=s1> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV class=s1> <B></B><FONT style='color:#800000;font-size:10pt;'><B>A sneak preview into the pages of Book # 3>Lure Making.
