This knock off is especially egregious because Zman is a company that actually makes legal efforts to prevent patent infringements (bladed jigs). Knocking off a Megabass bait is super hypocritical. "We won't let anybody copy our successful design, while we directly rip off their design."
I honestly don’t see it as a knock off because of how much they changed. I mean all crankbaits look similar but they are different and this bait is no different. I understand where you’re coming from though
