High Power Swimbaits Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 I cant stand mike shads either,my personal opinion is that they are overrated and it just dont fit my style . But then again there are a lot of overated swimbaits out there Im not that guy thats gonna kiss a bait makers ass just to get me a bait(way to much of this these days) . But I do love seeing bait makers being called out like this Randall .I got into this and never had any idea how bad this industry really was. Problem is simple. Too many people using other people to make themselves look good and too many people kissing their butts and promoting them to also look good. It's that simple. Learn what traits and habits narcissistic people have and avoid them at all cost. They will steal ideas, baits, credit, fishing spots etc. all to make themselves look good. And forget the "he is a nice guy in person" junk. All of them are nice when it forwards their own image and agenda. Catch some nice fish on a swimbait and there is a narcissist baitmaker or fishermen around he will be in the boat with you playing nice guy for your fish, your promotion and spots. And you will be the sucker telling everybody how nice and what a great fishermen he is and defending him against the people that really know them and have seen the real person behind the act. Every contradiction, fish beef, and bait beef has one main cause. it's always the same in this industry. It's never about being jealous or greed. It's about a guy with a fragile ego trying to build himself up on someone elses work. And sometimes two of them building each other up and promoting each other.

CTGalloway21 Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Randall, you are a broken record man. if you spent as much time making baits as you do stalking Bucca, maybe you wouldn't have outstanding orders from 2014 still out there. aesoprocks247, bassfiend72, Lucid_Dreams23 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTGalloway21 Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) And i got a big chuckle out of you saying you had baits in development that would be earth shattering in the swimbait world, but you won't release them cause you don't want to be copied. That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. What are you going to do? Just sit on them, and wait for someone else to bring something similar to the market, and then throw out claims they copied you and then act like a teenage girl for the next 10 years?

No to be honest there will be big innovations which are patented. Make a knockoff get the patented item put on your bait and have to sell against your own inferior bait for less money. May license the patent for a very small fee with guys who actually do something original and created a demand on their baits the right way and don't put out junk. Laugh all you want. Plenty of people will not be laughing. For the record guys are waiting on baits for one simple reason. I had three very serious illnesses in my family and a death and could have had another one or two if they hadn't pulled through. I made a mistake in trying to make batches of hundreds of baits because the demand was high and was caught having to care for family. That's over and baits are going out now every few days. Those orders will be out in around a week and we will only be about a month behind. Catching up fast.

CTGalloway21 Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 a patent is only good if you have the money to defend it, hence Z-man and the chatterbait. Austen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTGalloway21 Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) so even though he copied you, you were still a bull shad fan boy? That makes absolutely zero sense. I know if someone copied my bait, I sure as hell wouldn't be posing for pics like this and bragging on the internet about it. Just think about it. Does that make any sense at all? And you said this was one of Mike's 9" prototypes. Why would you have a prototype of Mike's if he copied you? Why not just use yours that he copied? No matter how many screen shots and stories you post, it just does not add up and you know it.

High Power Swimbaits Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 a patent is only good if you have the money to defend it, hence Z-man and the chatterbait.Honestly I am not really thinking about some big company making baits in China with huge resources. Bucca has to because he made thrown together junk with crooked cut joints etc. telling people to bend the joints crooked to tune them like its normal etc. Honestly China has caught up with most companies like that. 3d imaging will put them out of business. The key in this market is to separate yourself from the junk and lower prced baits made in china and defend yourself from the companies making junk resin baits in a garage or small warehouse or using your design and demand to fill your void as a small company. Chatter bait is an easy work around and not a easy patent to defend. Not true in this case. I grew up with a now famous lawyer as a neighbor and friend and a brother who had patents in his 20s. You walk by and dirve by his patents everytime you leave your house still. You talk a lot but you have no idea really. Lawyers can make tons of money off the right type of patents. Problem is some stuff is hard to defend in court. I am not making blade baits. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how many screen shots and stories you post, it just does not add up and you know it. I catch one bed fish with a swimbait the size that I caught almost daily and I am a fan boy. LOL.That year my tournament partner and myself caught 40 plus double digit fish and none on a bull shad. Now how many has Mike caught in the past ten years. LOL. Nice try but it's always the same story from you. Nothing to back it up but a few fish like we caught everyday. Now what happened when I sold my first two baits. My first two paying customers who bought a hph caught two eight pounders and a nine the first day they fished the bait. Loaned it to a buddy and he caught a nine pounder which was almost ten out of the same lake that fish in the photo was from the next day. Now how many nine pounders did Mike catch even using a shockboat. LOL. It's not even close in comparison. The bull shad when I used it was just a tool to catch easy fish that would eat most anything. Heck it got outfished by a Storm bait in comparison during the time I used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Power Swimbaits Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) Also that bait was a bait I was trying to help Mike with so I would have baits for guide clients. The bait he got from Leonard was later after I got away from Mike and was making my own that actually caught big fish that I had made for a while before mike ever thought about a four section bait.

Sneezy Beltran Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Just stop man, seriously, just stop. You don't like Mike, we get it, all you're doing at this point is embarrassing yourself from the level of butthurt you constantly put on display...... gcopple 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric do us a favor and get us some cast to catch on your not a bull shad. Just some good double digit bass on video. No easy to catch stuff. It would be much more effective than you on here posting about me. Edited November 26, 2015 by High Power Swimbaits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneezy Beltran Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 I have several cast to catch videos of his prototype, but that's irrelevant. Hell, I have several cast to catch videos using your baits which I happen like a lot. None of that matters. All that matters is everyone is getting tired of your constant antics. Just do yourself a favor and let it go man. Mike makes a great bait, and you make a great bait. Let us enjoy them both without constantly stirring up ish......... bassfiend72 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
