lure and plug copies

Hi Guys, Interesting topic. To add just a little bit of a twist to it. I've been building custom fishing rods for over 30 years. In that time I've copied a lot of rods for people from production to other custom rods for any reason from looks ,price ,action and workmanship. All are the same yet unique in that I built them and not the original . I tie flies professionally also. Plus build plugs. The concept that anyone can own ideas or creativity are a little absured to me . The more that i hear some of you want to be comercial plug builders go at it and each other the more you make guys like me want to tell people to buy the import stuff. you guys need to get over you over inflated egos and come back to the real world.
You guys want to go into business then do it . Do like the big guys do. Spend the money and do it right. Otherwise do like the rest of us little guys do. Work at it enjoy it and hopefully make enough to pay for your fishing. but please stop tryin to find ways to cut each others throats and close the doors on wouldbe competition. To the rest of you guys that like to be creative and share it with otheres like i do my hats off to you. Ron The Striper Maine-iac
