How one of these prototypes escaped is beyond me especially when I keep my tackle hangers locked up. I see the chat back and forth.. I do not use copper blanks... never have, I always use silver (real) plated blanks and airbrush using hardener, a catalyst to speed dry time and a clear top coat.
I heard about this "aquisition" of one of my patterns and just read the jab about fishing 10 times more than I do.... Nice shot but what he fails to mention is he wouldn't be where he is today without my "guidance".
I have other patterns that have not been tested yet, not displayed and plan on running them in the LOC this spring. My goal is to design real productive patterns and put fish in the boat (not always mine as you see).
Look me up in Olcott in the spring derby, (last three days), I may have some "free" samples with me of this pattern.
Boat ID, Lineout... stay at the Lighthouse... see you at the derby!
