Rich Z is 100% on target, as usual. I have far more retail experience than I
wish I had, in both owning a high end independent Audio/Video/Autosound
store (over 20 years) and managing a Best Buy store for a while, all this
after managing a huge machine shop for years. From what I learned in all
those years, I determined at the gitgo was that Secret Weapon would not be
made available to any of the big power retailers until we were big enough
and strong enough to deal with them on our own terms. Instead, we will be
targeting good independent tackle dealers.

BPS now has their own version of a spinnerbait with interchangeable blades,
and will hopefully consider that reason enough to avoid trying to copy us
right away. I don't know how their blade changing system works, but
fortunately the lure still remains the older first generation design with
none of the performance advantages for which Secret Weapon was designed and
built.

I agree with Rich. I have nothing to sell, but noticed the same thing. The
only question I have and maybe Rich knows is... do they by any chance
contract with the inventors at a discount price to produce for BP under
the
BP name ? That is would they take a Secret Weapon spinnerbait concept,
twist
it a little and have SW make it for them as a BP version? I do think..
most
of corp america's ethics are non existent.
