Anyone notice that the Googan baits and Strike King baits are nearly identical? I mean even down to the names.

Say it ain't so

Probably made in the same factory, market the SK baits to the old guys and the new ones to the young guys, ha

All soft plastics look alike. How many similar baits are there to a senko?

"nearly identical", is that another way of saying "similar?"

They're "Similar"

Googan baits are really good at catching flat breams.

The guy who owns the rage tail patents let them buy use his patent for the baits

Ya, becauase your a DB if you don't curve your hat like Bill Dance..
Never used a ''googan'' bait, but man I get tired of how you should wear your hat guy.

I know they met with Steve Parks on at least a couple of occasions. I think one of them even took a solo trip with him to a factory over seas. They fished with him in Mexico as well I believe. So yeah I suspect they probably got a license agreement with him to use his Rage design to some degree.

The packaging is another thing that reminds so many people of Rage. I know Rob has said they went to the people with the patent on that clam shell packaging and licensed it from them as well.

I have used the Rage baits a lot and am super impressed with them. That's coming from someone who is not a Strike King fan at all. I have not used the Googans baits but did play with them in the store last week and I think they hit it out of the park at least on the craw design. I can see where it might even be better than the Rage just because its softer and I like their scent better than the coffee scent in the Rage.

I know the Googans get a lot of hate here on this forum but they did these baits right guys. They could have put out some junk with the Googan name on it and sold plenty of it just on the name. Instead they decided to compete with the best.

And if you read all of that and don't know who Steve Parks is then shame on you! Next to Ed Chambers he is probably one of the best lure designers of our time.

Those baits don't really look that similar.

I want one of those Jerseys to fish in to keep the sun off my neck.

Flat bream = flat fish or bream caught on a flat
Flat brim = flat brimmed hat

condoms would�ve eliminated so many of these posts I see Now.

There�s 15 versions of senkos probably more, same with just about every other soft plastic. They�re making a craw fish imitating bait, what�s it supposed to look like a dolphin?

Plus they paid rage for rights to their their mold

Lol. That�s some funny truth right there!
