#SoliDeoGloria #SDGCustomLureCraft - Jak na to + styl
LOVE all the interaction in the comments and all the support for me, personally, as well as the basement builder community! For the record, I don't consider ZMAN an enemy, they have every right to defend their patents - no question at all. Whether its a good use of corporate time and money???... that's up to them to decide. There's also been a number of comments regarding "personal use" vs "selling". ZMAN gave me no caveat to the infringement - their instruction to me was to "destroy" the patented equipment. I believe they offered no caveat because of patent law 35 U.S.C. § 271, which states: Anyone who makes, uses, offers to sell, or sells any patented invention domestically, or imports a patented invention into the United States during the term of the patent, is infringing the patent. "Makes" and "uses" are included but separate from "offers to sell" or "sells"... legal opinion states that distinction covers personal make/use. Hope this helps!!
Very interesting. Thanks for doing the research.
I still don't see how a company can prevent someone from making something for their own personal use. That seems wrong to me.
It’s a tough one, I’ll give you that!
@@SDGCustomLurecraft Indeed
They do this as scare tactics. Patents are tricky but can be easily modified to where they don't own a patent on the modification. When you patent something it's specific unless you pay to patent every modification you can do which costs upwards in the millions when you patent all potential designs existing from an original design. Also most patents expire in like 7 years.
Do you sell any of these lures? Love the colors.
Yep Zman has a world wide patent on the chatterbait connection and blade. Here in Australia all of us were warned over this issue and yes many makers over here ceased making chatterbaits. So where there is a need to keep a good bait in your lineup. invention is the mother of neccessity. So what did i do i went this way Adam. I now flatten out a Colorado blade and drill my 2 tow holes in the middle of the blade. Now keeping the original hole in place i extended the neck wire and reattached my blade to it. Now i have copper gold silver blades as well as painted finishes. I called my baits "Jumping Jacks" after the landmines the Australian Army uses. Now i tie long rabbit fur zonkers in as a body and attach a rattle as well. Remember you only have to change things up by 15% to beat any design patent. I hope you guys find merit in my chatterbait design and corrections. I also must thank Z man for making me more creative in design of my products.
Sounds awesome man! Great work-around!
It's not really a worldwide patent. Evergreen Jackhammers are much cheaper in Japan because Zman isn't getting a cut. If you can find a Japanese retailer that'll ship to you, it's a lot cheaper to just import from Japan. A lot won't ship to you though because Zman has their patent trolls around.
Shimreels in Singapore sells Japanese lures to the internet angling public. I have ordered from them plenty of times and the best thing for you Stateside boys is they do all their pricing in U.S. dollars.
Nice build Adam. Since you are no longer able to use coffin style blade and no longer able to use the word “chatter”, I have decided that I should no longer use ANYTHING ZMan. You are Da Man!!!
Well I appreciate the support! At the end of the day, they were just exercising their rights, although I’m not sure it’s all that cost effective to go after little guys. I would think their time and money would be better spent elsewhere, but what can ya do!?
Don’t throw em away send them blades to me!!
@@timb426 if only! They are long since gone :) file 13 months ago.
@@SDGCustomLurecraftso Adam I know were you come from but there is alot of you could do to stand up for your self I think this little over reach on zman part yo be honest. I am like the other viewer will not be buying any thing from this because they had sue 2 other company when they should let it go
Yeah, tough spot for sure! I definitely didn’t want it to escalate - I was in no place to take them on, LOL!
Z-MAN has done this to every single company/bait maker for the direct blade to jig connection. It's one of the reasons I will not buy a single chatterbait that they make or buy their products. Not a fan of them having a monopoly on bladed jigs that have that direct connection.
On another note, those were so BEAUTIFUL laminates! Well done!
Thanks man! I'm glad they turned out nice!
Adam, I love them all! They definitely look like some fish catchers for sure. You do an outstanding job my friend. Just keep doing your thing! I appreciate you and what you do!!
Thank ya much David!
The way that Blue comes through so sick 🔥🔥
Twas a winner!
Very nice Adam!! Love the colors! Thanks for taking the time to make the videos! Sorry about the z man issues!
My pleasure Bryan! It is what it is, just glad I found an alternative!
WOW those colors are SICK my man!!!! Love them and very unique to what's out there! I want some! "Flicker" is a great alternative! Sounds more glamorous!
Thank ya sir, much appreciated!
Well done ! the best I have seen you do , that first pour is beautiful and that is saying something as your work is already top notch .
Truly appreciated thank ya much!!
You are still the wizard of the best color combos. Hope all is good with z- man. I'm looking forward to seeing these in action because these are going to have a lot of fast action. Be blessed. My friend.
Thank ya thank ya! They do indeed have quite the action… very aggressive hunting, back and forth… the tail just goes nuts, it’s really something!
Sorry to hear about your talk with Z Man. I didn't know about the Blade design either. The Heads look good and the baits are fantastic!!! Great video as always.
Thanks Bill! Yup, live and learn! Glad I found an alternative 👍👍
Beautiful work my friend! Looks like some awesome Crappie “flicker” baits!😉🎣
Yes sir, crappie will certainly dig it!
These are so dope. I’m anxiously waiting for them to be available. Great job man! Thanks for continuing to make them!
Thank ya much! Hope to restock soon!
Are these still available? They look awesome.
Suuuuuuper helpful video and patent discussion. I've been wanting to start making "bladed jigs" for a bit now, and was trying to sort it all out. Looks like flat eye jig connected with a split ring is the way to go. Thanks, and great work!
Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, split ring connection is a must if you want to avoid the drama, and now we also know about the blade shape (but there's a lot of good alternatives out there, especially in the normal size). I hope it works out well for you!
Just found your channel. You're making something II have been wanting and trying to replicate for years. Can't wait for restock.
Thanks man! Hopefully restocking soon! The demand/interest has been a little overwhelming!
That is soooo freaking sweet! I'm always impressed by your talent. Keep em' coming.
Thanks Mike, truly appreciated!
I cannot believe what I just witnessed. You have the ability to make all your baits and create whatever you want. WOW!!!!! Do you uy the molds? I sub'd and this was just amazing......
Thank ya much, glad you enjoyed it! Yup, I bought all the molds (lead and soft plastics). Epic Bait Molds is best of the best for soft plastic molds - love em!
I started attaching bills to jig-heads back in about 1985. I submitted my idea to American Inventors corporation. They told me it would cost anywhere from 5 to 20k to do a patent search. Back then I was working for 3 35 an hour and was raising a family so I had a notary sign my drawings and description and left it alone. About 2 years later, Cabela's started offering what they called an oscillating jig head. It's a plastic bill that snaps onto jig heads. You have to position the bill upside down/ bill up, and it works great. I also put a small pen light in the butt of a translucent fishing pole and dipped the tip in glow in the dark. I've never made a dime but I had fun.
I'd love to see pictures.
Sounds pretty interesting! Thanks for the comment!
Really good job with them colors too! I love that iridescence in my soft plastics
Thanks man! They all turned out awesome! Glad you liked em too!
This stuff is sick!!! Great job, dude!
Thx man!!
really enjoying how advanced your episodes have gotten
Thank ya much!!
“The BAT SHIATTER bait”
Those soft plastics look amazing, I’d like to try those here in Ontario on the Great Lakes!!
Thank ya much! Smallies would, indeed, be all over em!
without a doubt @@SDGCustomLurecraft
Well now. What can I say. Those little morsels are gorgeous. Very nice work Adam 👏👏👏
Thanks Shawn! Appreciate it my friend!
LOVE the Ghost Trout! It's up there as one of my favorites!!! I wouldn't worry too much about Z-Man. They would need to prove in a court of law that your sales are causing them significant financial harm in order for anything bad to happen. Don't be afraid of nasty letters. Unless it is a cease and desist from a law firm you don't have anything to worry about. And seriously, the PRESIDENT of Z-Man doesn't have anything better to do than harass small bait makers? ROFL business must not be going very well for them HA HA HA.... Go run your business buddy!
Couldn’t believe it myself… his time has to be worth more than what it took to send and respond to my emails! Go figure… cost benefit analysis seems a little wonky, LOL! Water under the bridge at this point. Re: the Ghost Trout - ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! Stellar color, especially with that Monkey Milk belly!
Thx man!!
You guys are absolutely right! I got a surprise 5g of Solar Sugar in the mail the other day 😁 going to play with that tonight.
@baitchuckin see you too if you're live later.
Great stuff guys. I'm blessed to have found this community.
Love it man!!
This is bad advice. They do not have to prove damages, only infringement on their likeness. Consult a lawyer.
@@bfstackledirect While I agree 100% to ALWAYS contact a lawyer, as I am not one myself, I do not believe this to be poor advice. I speak as someone who has been in multiple corporate lawsuits over patent infringements (On both sides) and I speak as someone who is on over 20 patents myself. Bose did a similar scare tactic a while back legally going after several companies supposedly infringing on their active noise cancelling patent. Turns out it was a big cash grab and most cases did not rule in their favor. But all it takes is one.
Any company can legally stop you from producing infringing product, that's not in question. What they can't do is outright sue you for lots of money. All they can sue for is damages lost by the sales of the infringing product and the "potential revenue" they would have gained if you had not infringed on their product and marketing. Z-Man is a multi-million dollar company and it would take A LOT of chatterbait sales by our good friend Adam here to put any kind of dent in that, and it would be very hard for them to prove any kind of significant damage to their revenue as a result of sales from a garage bait maker. Threatening letters from the president of a company are just that, threatening letters. Unless it's a legal and notarized cease and desist letter, Adam really doesn't need to do anything. That's the first step in a legal process to go after patent infringements. I should also note that if Z-Man were a public company, this could actually be used AGAINST the president as it's their Fiduciary Duty to focus on keeping the company profitable. Writing multiple emails to youtube baitmakers around the world is an absolute waste of time for a president of a multi-million dollar corporation and it is NOT a valuable use of time for the president of said corporation. This is what you hire legal teams for. If it was a real threat, the letters would be coming from the legal team, not the president directly. Pretty sure ANY corporate lawyer would highly encourage the president of a company to NOT CONTACT directly the person you're trying to sue in a court of law.
Again, I'm not a lawyer, but just speaking as someone who has been through the process before and in cases that involved large sums of money. Again I agree with you 100% confirm with your lawyer, because this is not legal advice..
That first color is incredible!! You should patent it before Zman does. We already know you are doing something right if you got their attention. LOL
Thanks man, glad ya dig it! Holoshift powder is pretty awesome stuff!
I love your content - inspired me to start making my own baits too! Good stuff! Keep it up!
That’s awesome man, love it!
Awsome ❤wish I could get one.Sold out grats.I really enjoyed this.God given talent well used.
Thank you much! You can join the Mailing List to get notified when I drop the next batch - details for that are on my website!
Amazing..... need both now 🔥
Glad ya dig em!
That's just incredible.
Thanks man! Glad you dig it!
Well, all three laminates looked fantastic!...the lures by themselves are great baits, adding blade would be non-essential. ;)
BTW, when some specials hook type/make needed are not available, one could find a regular suitable hook and diy and add the required hook-eye form. There should be some videos on this procedure on youtube.
All the best
Thank ya much! Totally agree, these would fish well even without a blade!
Nice looking baits Adam,Thanks for sharing
Pleasure is mine Rich, thx!
you sir are a craftsman! respect
Thank ya much man! Really appreciate it!
I was all prepeared to got to the website and buy a few of those small bladed jigs, alas; all sold out. I'll check back. NIce vid.
Yeah, they don't last long. Huge demand so they fly off the shelf when I restock. Appreciate the interest!
wow, you are the lure wizard! well done! love the video!
Thank ya much!
Phenomenal looking jigs! I’d love to try a couple of these for big crappie!
They'll eat it for sure! Thanks man!
Awesome!
Hopefully someone comes out with a good replacement hook so you can keep making these beauties!! Great video
I need to start looking! I have a good stock, but one day they will indeed run out!
Love it!!
Thanks man!!
Omg that is an awesome color (gree pink blue monkeymilk) on that mini flutterbug,baby splatterbait, minni bizzybuzzer, great job bro!
Thx man!! 🤜🤛
Great looking baits . Those are some of best color baits I seen 😮😮
Thanks man! Truly appreciated!
That looks like a crazy good drop shot bait too! I would throw that on a bladed too but I would also throw that monkey milk/black on a drop shot cuz those colors are freaking magical!! The profile is a perfect mix between a bait fish and I long tail kinda like a finesse worm. Keep it up!
Amen man! I have some in my drop shot box as we speak!
Great looking “Bladed Flicker Minnow”! Green/Monkey Milk my favorite! Like the other colors, too!
Thanks man! That first one was a doozy!
This is the best bait that I've seen. I've used Zman and personally didn't like their plastic bait as it sticks together, especially the tail part. Your jighead will also be good to make it weedless, just an option. Would love to buy from you.
Thanks man! Hope to restock the store soon!
My biggest takeaway from this was getting to see the new Barlow powder paint colors! I don't pour soft plastics but make a lot of bucktail jigs. Those new colors are something else. I order a lot of stuff from Barlow's so it is really cool to see some of the barlow products in action.
Top notch stuff, no doubt! Their Nova Stone line is absolutely fantastic!
Man that lure looks nice good work
Thanks Brice, appreciate that man!
Pretty shallow of that company going after the little guy on technicalities... I will be sharing this with everyone I know. Just sad
Appreciate the support! I try not to hold it against them... I mean, they do have a right to defend their patent, big or small infringers alike! I don't know if it makes business sense to spend the money going after basement builders, but that's their call!
I agree. They have every right to defend their patent. Us consumers also have every right to boycott big name companies that seem to have too much time on their hands... I know that I will never buy anything with that company name ever again... No loss to me. I can make whatever I want.
Thank you for all the great content you put out. Much appreciated here!
@@jonanderson8975 my pleasure man! Hope you catch a boatload on your own baits, no better feeling!
Amen!
Another great build. I know of a few folks that got emails and letters about bladed jigs they built. 🙄. I love that Monkey Milk on laminates. I only make for myself so you can send me them small blades and I won’t tell. 😂
Great colors!!!
Thank ya much!!
Zman wanted to bury you for using a coffin style😂You adjusted well.Like rocky you can do it.First color hypnosis was happening.Beautiful
Much appreciated! That Ghost Trout was a dandy, yes indeed!
The best, all of your combination was Perfect i really like it, thank you so much for sharing, sending support and looking forward to your upcoming videos
Thank ya much! Truly appreciated!
amazing!!! Great job
Thank you much! I appreciate you watching!
Seems ridiculous for them to be worried about a " basement bait maker" especially when there's only so many things one can do when making baits. That aside, awesome baits and color matching as always. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Michael! I do appreciate the support!
That's fire!
Thx man!!
I would buy a few but the shipping would get rather large to sweden
Indeed!
Man you got some cool ass gear!
LOL, thanks man! Glad you dig it!!
"flicker minnow" **Berkley has entered the chat** You may want to re-re-workshop that name, sir, but that's an awesome little bait! I'd bet the gold/pearl and the blue back shad would smash some white bass 🎣
Thanks man! Yeah... already changed it again, LOL... I landed on "Bladed Slayer", which has a nice ring to it!
Love the color shift colors. They never disappoint. Im surprised you can buy the blades if they own the patent on the shape. Anyway, I guess we will have to call you Outlaw Adam from now on. 😂
LOL! Indeed. I too had the same quandary, but I guess it’s an overseas thing. Who knows?!!
Wow buddy awesome work
Thank ya much!!
U gotta insulate the rest of that duct above the toolbox haha it’s killing me
LOL, we'll see! The insulated portion used to sweat like mad when I had the garage door open... that uncovered section never had an issue. I appreciate the attention to detail though! Man after my own heart :)
Awesome video man. I honestly like them.better with the split ring. I remember hearing about that and when I did I sold all my z man stuff. But honestly being one of and knowing some of the best soft plastic bait makers in the industry I wasn't using any of their stuff anyway it was just sitting there getting dusty. Keep up the awesome work.
Thanks Darrell, I’m right there with you, I prefer the extra hunting action a split ring gives you. Sure it may fowl from time to time, but not enough to overcome the benefits of that erratic hunting action!
@SDGCustomLurecraft
That last bladed jig color combo with the purple colored jig head was hands down ONE SEXY LOOKING BAIT!!!
Keep up the awesome bait making!
-Tight Lines 🎣
Thanks man, I do appreciate it!!
Great colors, Adam. You are the Czar of exotic colors.
LOL, "Czar"! Been on YT for years now and have never been called a Czar - bucket list item checked off there, thanks Guy!
It always amazes me how the angling AI molds open up and the sprue is gone. That's pretty amazing no wonder they charge so much for their molds they get rid of the sprue for you
I don't know about Angling AI as I don't own any, but I do like to clean up my whole work area, which includes the sprue, before I open my EPIC Bait Molds!
Nice Video! Appreciate your content! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Adam, appreciate it man!
First time watching your channel and im very impressed. Wow
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it!
Need one of the flickers with a purple top and chartreuse belly with that same jig head you made for the last one. Would be killer looking and also killer at catching dandies!!
Purple/Chartreuse is a favorite combo for sure, especially with that head!
@@SDGCustomLurecraft definitely would like to get ahold of some of those! Let me know when you drop some. Love the content!
Amazing colors.
Thank ya much!
Outstanding baits keep up the great work
Thank ya sir!
That bait looked so good I wanted to bite that hook.
LOL, thanks man!!
I love the way the colors compliment one another
Thank ya much! I was happy with them as well!
I like the video plus I can’t wait to purchase some baits from you 👍🏽
Thanks man! Hope to restock soon!
Dang just sick brother I need those colors 😂
Glad ya dig em, thanks man!
Awesome colors.
Thank ya much!
Great Job Adam, your an artist.
Thank ya much, truly appreciated!
It’s only an issue if you sell them (or even give them away for free). If you make them for your own personal use there’s NOTHING Z-Man can do legally. I definitely wouldn’t throw anything away.
Many take this approach. I did a little extra research and pinned a comment you may find interesting. Thanks for the feedback!
Awesome great job 👍
Thanks man, truly appreciated!
Those are sick!
Thx man!! Appreciate it!
Love those trailers can I buy just them??? Really like your creativity keep up the great vids.
Thank you much! Right now I only sell them as part of the combos. Thx again!
Ok, haven't even finished watching the video and I want to give you my money. Those look pretty damned nice.
LOL, thanks man! Glad you dig em! Hope to make more soon, just waiting on more blades!
Forget z-man! I’m never buying their products ever again
I was pretty hot over it initially... but I have to give it to the pres... he was respectful and open in our email exchange. I still don't know if the business case (cost-benefit-analysis) of going after basement builders makes the effort worth it (which I mentioned)... but they're sticking to their guns and have a right to challenge those that infringe (even unintentionally)!
@@SDGCustomLurecraft the fact that they spend so much money, time and energy going after small batch bait makers (regardless of how respectful) is just unreal to me. I’m curious what would happen if I made a jig head with a spinnerbait hook and custom wire form to attach the blade instead of a split ring.
Same here
@@AlIsUpOutdoors make it happen, sounds sweet!
@@johnwhite993 🙏🙏
First video of yours that I have seen. Awesome!! Are you marketing any of these laminates?
Thank ya much! Yup, I’ll be posting a restock soon. You can join my mailing list to get notified via my website. Thx again!
on Relapse Tackle's channel he drills out little holes to insert small neodymium magnets to keep and hold the hooks in place. so they don't fall out or reposition.
Great idea!
Straight up fire, I almost want to eat it myself 🤣
LOL, thanks man! Truly appreciated!
At least you know you are killing it if you scared Zman enough to go through all of that. As far as I'm concerned this new bait is 100x nicer than the inconsistent crap they sell! Keep up the good work, Brother!!
Thanks man! I’m just one in thousands, but at least I have a good story for my troubles! LOL
Companies don't get scared, they got butthurt.
Aaaaaa-Men!!! Z-man is generally great quality, but their worms and taper tailed stuff is terrible and hugely inconsistent and melts if left int he sun for even a short period of time!
Enjoy your videos; your production efforts are notable and appreciated. Were the baits you molded on screen in this video still the Epic 3” Crappie Slayer…..they look bigger.
Yup! Everything I made here was the 3” slayer! Appreciate the kind words as well!
Outstanding you are amazing!!! How can i purchase your product? When is the next production?
Glad you like em! My website link is in the video description. Jump on the Bait Drop Mailing List so you can get in on the next batch.
Good stuff buddy, keep up the innovation and education. One day these Presidents will call you asking for your help :)
LOL, not sure I’ll answer next time! Get myself in MORE hot water!
nice @ 7:16 looking good
Thanks Kevin!
I would of just started modifying them with tin snips ha ha Glad you found a way to continue your cool bait. (Better patent yours ;) ! )
Yeah, that would have been an option for sure! Live and learn I guess! :)
Authentic chatterbaits are only grown in the fertile soils of Chatter, France. Anything else is just flickering minnow.
LOL, indeed!
I’m 66 years old and the first time I seen any kind of bladed jig bait I was about 8 or 9 years old. My uncle would take a metal pull tab off his beer can, take his pocket knife and knock a hole in each end and attach one of those old style swivels on each end, attach a jig, black are white worm or what ever and tie his line to the other swivel and catch fish. Bottom line is the ideal has been around way before any of you guys started building them and claiming owner ship. He also cut, treated and died pig belly skin and would fish them like a worm. FYI Uncle O built a lot of his on baits lol they looked crude but worked.
Good ideas never go out of style!
ZMan selling their jackhammers for 15-20$ is the criminal act here.
If there’s a market, more power to em I guess :)
@@SDGCustomLurecraft no
My new favorite bait to throw for crappies. Id buys yours any day of the week my man looks very yummy so dont look back keep em coming 👌🏾. The hell with the other big companies do you bro. Let the haters hate because that motivates ✔️

👍🏽 right on
Great videos, quick question. Where did you get the “blades”. Also what size are they?
Thx man! Found em on Amazon, size XS.

Green brown blue blue clear 🤯
Would be killer! In the meantime, just bust out the open pours! With a thin enough layer you can do 4 all day!
Just found your site yesterday already liked and subscribed. When will you have more Bladed Flicker Minnow Combos?
Thanks man, welcome to the community! Yup, I’ll be posting more as soon as my next shipment of blades arrives. Thx!!
looks like it would be a better strolling bait without the blade. just jigs and plastics! i would totally buy it though!
Would definitely work that way too!
I'm 70 years old and have making various lures , jigs etc. before ZMAN was born.
I bet they're awesome! No replacement for experience!
I’m all about the smaller sizes of the flicker lure. Smallmouth killer around me.
Yes sir! I'm sure the smallies will smash this guy!
What size spilt rings do you use for attachment?
Thats a size 1
