I was just thinking this the other day. Very little is genuinely new. People ask if I'm going to patent things, but reality is someone will do exactly what you said in the video. Keep em coming, and I must admit I'd have smacked that hookset at the same time as you, topwater always has me on edge! 😂 Tight lines Tom
that's why you don't tell any one before you can get yours to market, mmmm me & my big mouth a while back they even take name of it, but i got a better name for mine , top vid as always
Still pisses me off... But... I also figure that brand loyalty can give you an edge and what people don't know is how much goes into getting it right so make as much noise as you can when you get it right and then everyone else is playing catchup and by then you have the brand loyalty... And, I reckon you have a grace period before everyone else catches up and by that time it's time to kill the cash cow and make something new so they are playing catchup, again. Well... Looks good on paper...
Yeah that is the only way to do it really. Making it cheaper is a feature in the minds of buyers so if someone can make a product that is the same as yours, but cheaper they will.
