The Stick Worm Phenomenon

We really can't call them Senkos anymore. Its a Yamamoto trade name. While
Gary Yamamoto started something with these and deserves all the credit for
this new bait, many other manufacturers have their own version that produce
nice sizes and quantities of fish. It is a disservice to Yamamoto and Yum,
Swee****er, Mesa Tackle, and others to call them all Senkos.

Maybe, but a grub is a grub.
A tube is a tube.
An augertail is an augertail.

Regardless of the manufacturer those baits have a generic name. If I said I
was fishing with a watermelon red flake "knock off" nobody would know what
it was.

Actually, when I hear Winchester, I think 'hard drive'. Maybe I'm showing
my age, but the very first hard drive that recorded on both sides of the
disk was made by IBM and was a 60 meg unit. 30 megs on each side. IBM named
it the 30-30, which quickly became the Winchester in tech support circles.


Be that as it may, Kimberly Clark spends a fortune protecting the Kleenex
trademark, as does CocaCola with 'Coke', Polaroid with their company name,
etc., etc.

Sveral brand names have legally moved into the common domain because the
copyright owners did not do enough to enforce their rights. Aspirin and
Linoleum are prime examples. General Motors spent more money policing the
rights to their trademark Frigidaire name in the 50s than they made selling
refrigerators.

Winchester=hard drive? Not a computer person (as you can tell from my
isp) but that would be the *last* association I would make LoL

Several brand names have legally moved into the common domain because
the copyright owners did not do enough to enforce their rights

Common domain meaning everyday verbal usage? I understand a company not
wanting their product name used for profit, but it would be pretty hard
for Bombardier to sue every guy who says to his buddy, "Bring your
Skidoo (whether it be a Polaris, Arctic Cat, Yamaha, etc.) up this
weekend and we'll hit the trails. And bring your Winchester and some
Kleenex. Oh, and Aspirin, too."

It is also true that a
Kleenex is a Kleenex. Brand names do describe a category, especially when
they are as successful as Senko's

Just a thought

I am pretty sure Augertail was the name of a Mann's worm.

You could be right. Zoom calls there's a U-Tail or a C-Tail dependingon the
size of the tail.

I like hte U-Tail better by the way.
