so when I make a plug and post a picture of it I should say this is my version of a Hickey-doo and I call it a tantalizer.??

I don't sell plugs so why should I come up with a name for a plug?

I don't get it

I understand respect but if I make a plug like something old and I don't know the history of it, what am I supposed to do to give credit where credit is due, research it?

I just turn hunks of wood into stuff that I want to catch fish on.

Who put the bop in the bop she bob she bop ..
Who put the Ram in the ramalama-ding-dong..

Who invented the danny. ya sure ?

that atom 40 look .. i see hicky-do,,murat,,blue streak,,master lure had that look .... fuller bros had that shape 1940..Pt.jude had it just flat nose like Hicky-do.
1st bob pond lure 44
I always try to give credit where it do but ,I think those guys were a bunch of copy cats just like us .. looked like before 1940 everybody was copying eachothers flaptail ..

Minus the swilling part in my case I would have to agree.

I dont collect nor have I looked at the history much, I produce for the most part something that already exists without knowing it

For instance,
small swimmer = "hey that looks like a Hahn" Me - who's hahn?

If'n I do copy I say it up front like the TobiasCapNike I copied, from there I changed what I didnt like or didnt swim. Pissa lure

I smell what your stepping in CS. Dont know what the answer is though. Maybe "This is my version of XYZ"
