Very interesting. The French don't seem to copy anyone else's designs.
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

French copyright law is more robust than a lot of other places (I assume enforcement is too).
Any machine is a smoke machine if you use it wrong enough.

True, but they did infringe on Hardy's full bail arm patent.
