Im definately not an expert but as far as I know there isnt any copyright on plugs, I could be wrong. I think most of us builders are making plugs to trade or fish, but not all of us. It was said in a few other posts that there are only so many shapes you can get by turning a piece of wood. You can make small changes to length, width, hook and lead placement but no matter what you make someone will always say "that looks like a ...." I guess that as long as you dont try to represent YOUR junk as someone elses product your ok. Example: I dont think marketing a copy of a Polaris popper as "Flukinuki's Polaris Popper" would make me any friends. Theres always room for experimentation with shape and color. But I dont think anyone would ever consider "stealing" an already recognised name. Just my opinion.
