BassSlayer619, so you know in these days of who copied who. Jerry made this tail a long time ago. Infact Jerry had his trout, with this tail in a few sizes at the Bass-a-thon and showed it to Matt(Matt Lures) and a few other people so there was no copying and the baits are different. These guys are working hard to make baits for us to catch the biggest bass in our lakes and all this finger pointing is hurting the fisherman. I know talented guys making baits that will not enter the market because of this. I am lucky to work with Jerry and also fish alot of guys baits and there is a time and place for most. There is no one bait for all conditions and if you think that you aren't going to be consistent.
