Maybe I'm going out on a limb here but isn't the BBZ an imitation itself??? Also, tell me if I'm wrong, aren't there a million bream imitations out there in different styles, materials and so forth? Remember Renoysky (sp?). Or Castaic? What about the thousands of other small guys who have shaped wood or poured plastic trying to imitate trout and panfish? Maybe most have not done as good a job as Huddleston or the SC guys but I've seen MANY since I've been around.

Again, not trying to stir the pot but everything we buy here is from people trying to make something BETTER! I have to admit I don't want to be driving a Model T or watching a 13" TV in black and white just because I thought nobody should imitate or improve things. Can you imagine if this site wasn't here because there already was a "fishing forum" before this? Or *gasp* no Lucky Craft pointers around???? I know I would be doomed! :)

Just trying to put things in perspective!

If anyone wants to talk off-line I'm available at iamdot@yahoo.com
