What else are they supposed to say? We bought the design, but they are still using it also? They have to at least try and make it look like it is their own bait, I don't particularly agree with the marketing but understand why they are doing it

I just think it's absurd that Skeet is saying he made the bait. I know it's all a marketing gimmick, but still. I know Berkley owns the rights to the bait, and that LC is still able to make and sell them, but saying YOU designed a bait that's been out for years is asking to be called out IMO. Skeet is a tool anyway, so I'd expect nothing less. Wonder if I could paint one of my Red Eye Shad and say I designed the bait??? 

I just wish they would have rolled out a plastic blend as soft as the original. I mean if you have permission to sale the copy...do it justice.

Yes those baits are painted, hence the terrible smell
