Yes i can tell it has excellant action by observing the jointed section and how
it is carved out. The lure also has signs of having tied into a lot of fish in
it's day. There is a unique lip and line tie as well. The paint job although
not fancy is enough to do the job. It is the pattern for me to make lures. The
replicated lure's action will be tested.

Your not much of a lure builder if you "copy" someone else's design, we
call a company that does that, many nasty names in this industry
