Mark, the original thread was posted with the images the Eric has posted here, of the shots of the poppers with the JigStar Africa logo behind them.
I asked for these to be removed because they were percieved as JigStar Africa selling these lures, and marketing them as JSA Originals, which they never were, and didn't want people to think that we were.
No fault at all by the member who posted teh images, he was merely sharing what he had seen in our stand at the show. But unfortunately the way the images were shot, as you can see from Eric's posts, it gave a totally wrong impression, to which Eric's reaction is completely and totally understandable and justified, and why were are doing our level best to assure him that his concerns are not necessary, and apologise for the misunderstanding and misrepresentation of products that are clearly copies of his lures, and will at no time be made, or sold, by JigStar Africa.
Again I would like to say in hindsight we realise the mistake and error of even having the sample versions we had with us at the stand, but hind sight is always clear sight, and we as a smakll starting company have learned our lesson. We wanted nothing more than to show off some high quality products and get people excited about Heavy Popping and chasing big fish with our high end Pnew range of Popping rods, along with and accompanying our Jigging gear.
Our error, and our mistake, one which I hope can be understood by Mr le Guyader, and we can move on and away from this matter.

... I make my own copies! I copy them over and over and over. But in my own mould from my own hand made lures. I am busy with a Saily killer. Will post a pic tomorrow!
