jitterbug

I have several spinnerbait designs that are pretty dog gone good but i'm afraid someone will steal my ideas. Is there any help for us guys who have ideas and want to develop them without someone taking them away from us. I don't have the finances it would take to patent them. I notice alot of new lure ideas on this site. Aren't any of you guys worried about lure idea thefts.

Can anyone tell me of a good supplier for ball bearing swivels. I need to order them in bulk of 1000 at a time.
