I'm with Nicco. Nothing will really matter on the copies. It happens time and time again because that's how people are. How about the Sweet Beaver? The Senko? I don't see anybody complaining when they rig up a Yu m Dinger. Quite frankly, Taylor, the copies you and I handpour are illegimate copies, in a sense. Its just the nature of things. The swimbait market is huge now, and people will copy successful baits. The only way to ensure they can't is a patent, and even then Chinese copies will still end up on EBay. People will do whatever it takes to make money on a fad while it lasts, and swimbaits are as a whole considered a fad by many at the moment, though you and I both know they aren't. Why do you think every plastic company has brought out some type of Basstrix style baits? Its just part of a cycle. People will buy the crap baits on an impulse for saving money, realize the copies are indeed crap, and buy the original later down the road. Thats what the people who copy the baits are anticipating; someone will buy that bait on price alone and not performance.
