I Waited 10 Years To Get This $1000 Swimbait, Was It Worth It?

I have waited close to a decade to get my hands on this swimbait but was it worth the wait? The Hinkle Trick Trout is a beautfiul segmented swimbait made by Andrew Hinkle, the same guy who makes the famous Hinkle Shad and Hinkle Trout. Today, I do a quick overview of the new bait!

I'd said not worth the money and the wait even though I dont own one. You could have gotten a savage gear 3d trout that swims better, looks more realistic, and the joints don't fold on a pause. Yes, it's hinkle, and savage gear is beginner swimbaits, but who cares if it catches fish.

So the knock off goes both ways. There are a lot of items that are being knocked off from America in Japan as well as other countries. It would be nice if you mentioned that as well. The stealing of intellectual property sucks but it happens. The way you present this is like this is only happening from American companies. Please don’t get butt hurt, just would like to see how this impacts all companies not just Japanese companies because American companies is impacted by knock offs products as well.
