>Ok, I give up. What does "OG" stand for?

I believe it stands for original.

As for why Rago would patent his inventions? Well, after his Generic 3D, and Flat back Generic soft bait's were counterfeited, thousands were sold in Japan,(he never seen a single penny of those sales), then his Generic hard bait was counterfeited and also sold over seas again with out seeing a single penny. Shortly after his 8 inch baby tool was copied and injected molded by a large company. I think the guy's name was Ill Stealandsell?? Does that answer your question as to WHY??
Rago is not a school teacher or a fire fighter, he invents and builds baits for a living. His company supports three family's currently and in this economy he needs all the protection he can get. These days there is hardly any ORIGINALITY, INTEGRITY, or LOYALTY............everyone is coping everyone else.
I congratulate Jeremy Anderson, Ken Huddleston and again Jerry Rago on their Patents and I hope that the days of originality and creativity come back again.

Peace, Rafael
