It's been four years of planning to come up with 7 new marlin lures. Some of my early designs have become the most copied on the market. Everybody and his dog has had a piece of my hard work. Not getting a single penny for all my hard work prompted me to design and manufacture my own range which are all hand milled with no one else’s product within miles.

My colour range will be available on the www within weeks. Price? $25 for 6 ¾” $35 for 7 ½”. That’s $10 cheaper than those copies out there.

No doubt you'll be throwing a few free samples my way......for evaluation of course.

Thought about, and attempted to, make lures as a kid Mitch. Lures will be copied and sold off cheap for years and years to come.:-/

If you want to make the dollar on them i would think i t would be a matter of tried and tested in the short term(which you have proven), distribute out and patent. Hopefully you would get a penny or two before "everybody and his dog"

Cheers Scott
