It's gonna be called, " The I copied Bassmaster who copied Salty who copied Habs who copied Murat who copied Gibbs who copied Capn' Bill's who copied Atom who copied who copied Creek Chub who copied Heddon who copied the Native Americans who copied the Egyptians who copied the Cavemen who copied Lucy who copied a shrew" Lure Manufacturing. What do you think?

Cool

It's all just variation on a theme and there is room for everybody. There is no room for jealousy, back stabbing and bad mouthing. Just make your plugs and let's all enjoy them and share what we have learned. Sheesh!!!!

Why even try.........

Slingah, you're right, there can't be too many new ideas. There are lots of ways to trick a fish into biting a lure and lots of variations of those lures.
I like the name of your new company Flaptail but it's kinda long, you might consider shortening it.
I wonder who was the first person to slide an eelskin onto a plug???
Tat, what's the name of that proto? catch any fish on it yet?
Ya Spence, the color is pink , I think squid pink but you might want to check the patent.

How bout a black condom as an eelskin? I also have asked about musky jitterbugs here before. Another idea I had is small diameter bicycle tubes as trailers.

Life is like a poop sandwich, the more bread you've got, the less poop you taste.
