Thats one thing i don't have to worry about.... Mine are not that good!!!

 

[LedHed]

The said member was also elaborating on how he came up with the name for a jig that he was/is plagiarizing. Very amusing for a minute then you realize this POS is trying to make money with other peoples ideas and words. Granted they are shared ideas on the internet – at least give credit due where credit is due. Your to kind to the jerk Russ.
I think I’m done….

 

[Fatman]

Thanks for the posting!!!

 

[quivira kid]

Good reminder. Apparently I missed something.

 

[Ron Don]

It was a jaw dropper for sure!

 

[toadfrog]

Dang I missed it too . Got to pay more attention.

 

[CrappieHappy]

Well stated Russ.

 

[Squeakyboatcaptain]

I missed it too.... Do we know who's jigs were copied?? Maybe best not to ask... None of my business......

 

[Radtexan]

It was all handled in private,as it should have been.Im like Led too the pictures were not quite as shocking as using the words and stories posted by the members here,to appear as his own..

 

[JSC]

[StumpHunter]

Awh well over the years I guess I've had about 5 lure Ideas snagged . Some are still out there . One in particular makes fishing lure jewelery . Same Name and all . Still have a few of the old cards I sold them on . Did them back in the nineties . First store to carry them was called Okie Bug in Tulsa Oklahoma . There are reps for tackle companies that go around to mom and pop stores selling and picking up ideas from folks like us . They know most of us don't have the money or the sales volume to do battle over our products . I just console myself with the knowledge that I did make the contribution to the tackle industry even if I didn't get the credit or cash . I would like to here thanks toad when they do that .

 

[Hawnjigs]

I remember the original Okie Bug catching my attention - are you the designer TF?

 

[BucktailJiger]

Wonder If Redmans and I's Roc-a-Roos would fall under this ? Some Jag-off is trying to replicate them and selling them on his web site for a decent chunk of change . They look like sh-t but it's the principle that p-ss-s me off . I felt I earned Redmans respect for him to hand down the original reciepe to me .

 

[AtticaFish]

Got a website link for me? Can see if there anything i can do, but can't promise anything. I'd rather you PM it to me so we all don't click it and boost his numbers.
