I am sitting on a ton of lure designs myself and have done a little research. Truly I just need to put more effort into selling mine
As for the fly tying tool that might be different

I agree with this. A patent is not worth the $$. Develope your product and devote the patent money to marketing research, development and branding.
Having a patent doesn't guarantee it wont be "knocked off". Protecting the patent becomes your responsibility and any knock offs will require a civil suit to counter. Far too much time & money can be spent on a patent, as has been realized by thousands of patent owners. Profit is made in the marketplace.
