The person that made the original tripple trout, who lives in Nagoya, Japan, feels the same way about copies.
I have the first tripple trout that was ever made. The second was sent to Cali, and an exact copy was made via a silpac silicone mold.
I am not sure that this is the proper place for a "boycott".
It is sad that many choose to copy the hard work of a few.
I happen to know, as I invested $120,000 in the development of the tripple trout and named the company that make it. 22nd Century comes from the Briefs song, 22nd. Century Man.
Life goes on; let just get along and fish.
Just my opinion.
Attached is a pic of the first ever made Tripple Trout, made by N. Hayashi. Hayashi san had me send the bait to Whitmer, and it was copied with his permission, for a lifetime supply of baits. The original one was floating, and was the first lipless hard big bait, as documented in the Japanese media.
Good fishing,
Capt. G

Wow Taylor, all the years you have posted on here, and read the site. You would think by now you'd get it that jumping on and running your mouth with a bunch of swear words mixed in is not how we do it on calfishing.com???

Think about editing your post. I think your argument will be a lot more convincing without the swear words and ranting.

How are zipper worms different?

At some point it appears to be OK to copy another design, and as far as the Triple Trout goes, that horse left the barn a couple years ago.

On the bright side, I doubt Alan's bait is going to put a dent in Triple Trout sales. People are smart enough to pay for quality baits :)

LOL! I guess its easier to point a finger than it is to look in the mirror. Typical human behavior.

well zipper worms are not a big deal first off im just making them for myself and secondly im making special colors that you cant buy and third im not claiming mine are better than anyone elses of do anything different than the real thing.. Anyhow i did not know about triple trouts being made in japan first, anyhow i just think if someone is gonna market a new lure under there name they should take the time to contribute something new and cool for the fishing community not something we alredy have

Supply and demand is another aspect to muddy the waters. 22nd century has, for whatever reason, failed to meet demand in the marketplace, by a large margin. If the average fisherman can't buy a triple trout even if they wanted one, it's not so bad for them to get a copy.

The funny part is that the copies are almost always much, much worse than the original. Not being able to come up with a bait as good as the huddleston, even with the bait right in front of you to copy is just weird. Mattlures 10" is the only one hudd style bait I've seen so far that offers worthwhile improvements (albeit not a hudd replacement).

Basically what I'm trying to say here is, I need more swimbaits :)

I argee with NICO someone please make some cool new swimbaits
