Some how the Do-it molds are not the same as Blakemore.Blakemore has it trade mark & Do-it has it's trade mark that is why they don't go after one another.

Do-It molds has no trade mark. With Blakemores trademark you can get a mold, pour them for your own use but not sell them. The mold comes with a warning sticker explaining that. There is a sticky on here about Poney heads and Seahorse jigs that goes into great detail about all this.
Start with Post #1 and read down especially # 12 by Skip That explains it about as well as it can be.
Agree/Disagree Like it or not if you are pouring and selling them you can be sued and lose.

Still have some of the first and original roadrunner to go by!!! not trying to sell but Creekslick on the Arkansas has come up with some of the best we have seen,blade spins every time!! Might give these a look!!

I am sure your old enough to remember he Stump Jumpers that BPS use to sell that were a horse head bait too. Well in 1994 Blakemore got he trademark! then they filed a suit on the guy that made that bait. I was lucky enough that he saw me post a Pony Head here, he contacted me to inform me he lost everything over this.

even if I sell a Roadrunner that uses a blade other than their imprinted blades, I have to put a sticker on the pack that states this was made under their Trademark and also has their number on that! So I would sy tread carefully!

I never will understand the appeal of a lure like that . Heck there are plenty of lures that fish just as good . Many of the members make under spin lures that are not pony heads . They will stand up fish for fish as good as anything . They don't have to get into a bunch of legal mumbo jumbo over a jig head style from 1930's . I'll just go ahead and say I'm sorry for shooting off my big mouth . SORRY

I don't think anyone is trying too sell them! I am picking up a skill that I like.

Just out of curiosity, I checked a China site.... http://www.aliexpress.com/item/20PCS...549171895.html
IMO, If Blakemore goes after anyone it will be them. I sell mine as a Made From Do-It mold spinner jig. I am not commercial just local fishing buddies and more often than not, trade for a fishing trip.

It amazes me that so many companies have gone for the china price and their products are being sold direct from china by the China manufacturer, I have seen several name brand rods, reels, various lures, line etc all being sold for 25% or less than the US companies marketing those same products.

Just for kicks I went and looked at your link - who would want them???? You don't know what kind of hook - they have barrel swivels and the blades on them are too big. And I hate to tell you TJ watch's the site and others have been warned so don't be surprised when you are.

It's a slap in the face to a Sponsor when someone says they selling knock offs.

I know for a fact more than a few that Blakemore went after just last year. Don't be one that gets one of them letters!
