IMO I wouldn't believe anything unless it was sent to me snail mail, registered mail or certified mail. IF I got an e-mail like that it would go into my spam folder.

If it was from someone that I did not know, I may have had the same reaction!!!

the same thing happened to charlie case. zoom sent him a nasty gram saying he had to change the design of his soft jerkbait because it was too similar to the fluke. he eventually fanned the tail as opposed to the typical fork. it works better on the drop now as a deadsticked bait because the fan tail makes the rearend swing side to side with an enticing "eat me, i'm injured" flutter. zoom

Let me get this straight. Zoom designes a worm. They give the worm a name and Market the worm. The spend thier money promoting this worm and they have trademarked the name.
Now the "little guys" want to make money off thier hard work by making a similar product and using a similar name ? Basicaly they are leaching off of Zoom and somehow ZOOM IS THE BAD GUY? Wrong is wrong, it doesnt matter if their a big corparation. They have a right to protect what is thiers.
I have a novel idea, how about make your own version of a bait and give it its own name without trying to rip off another company?

Bad day, muffin? Do ya need a hug? (lighten up...I am just joking)

The end. Saint.

[pastorshane]

So am I going to get sued for selling a bait that looks like the fluke but is called a differant name?

[saint308]

No. you should be fine. If they do come calling, just tell them to contact your lawyer. His name is Jim O'Conner at ghost law firm. Saint.

[pastorshane]

Is his law firms motto" We will sue you so fast it's scarey"?

[Mattlures]

Nope dont need a hug. I just think its pathetic to justify steeling because its a big company. Stick up for the little guy even though the little guy is the one who is infringing? If the name is trademarked and sombody else trys to sell a similar prodcut by using a similar name they are infringing. They are wrong and Zoom has ever right to sue if they want to. If they do sue I would be routing for the "big guy". If the little guy is smart he would avoid this by changing the name.
I call it how it is.
Go ahead make me out to be the bad guy for calling a spaide a spaide
