Absolutely!!!!

Take a Stick Bait, Brush Hound, Ribbon tail worm or any other plastic and you will find a ton of different companies putting their name on them. Several actually come from the same mould. Line up the 50 - 100 different brands and my bet is you find very little difference in size and shape. Some injected with scent, salt, coffee, and who knows what and even then my bet is you will find several that look the same, smell the same and have the same action. But tie one on and catch a 5 pounder and even though you have several that look, smell and act alike, your confidence level will go thru the roof when you know that BRAND is tied on. You will pay more attention to detail, more attention to how you are working it, more attention to the bite when it comes, all of this add up to more fish being caught. I refuse to use some hand tied FNF jigs that some of my buddies have given me to try just for the shear fact that Punisher Jigs have done me well and I have a ton of confidence in them. I feel every cast that I don't make with them is a cast that I may miss a 5 pounder. Just me but it is a confidence thing
