Supply and demand is another aspect to muddy the waters. 22nd century has, for whatever reason, failed to meet demand in the marketplace, by a large margin. If the average fisherman can't buy a triple trout even if they wanted one, it's not so bad for them to get a copy.

The funny part is that the copies are almost always much, much worse than the original. Not being able to come up with a bait as good as the huddleston, even with the bait right in front of you to copy is just weird. Mattlures 10" is the only one hudd style bait I've seen so far that offers worthwhile improvements (albeit not a hudd replacement).

Basically what I'm trying to say here is, I need more swimbaits :)
