Are these off-brand trolling motors any good?

[QUOTE="gnappi, post: 436700, member: 22374"] Sometimes you DO get the identical product because I know for a fact (I worked in Asian factories for an American company) that many builders use the SAME assembly lines for their own knock off brands that they use for the major name, use the same injection molds, and parts. An unfair business practice for sure but who said the business world is fair? :-) On the upside of the brand name, there's not (IMO) such a huge disparity in cost [b](for me)[/b] to warrant getting the off brand. I recently bought a MK Endura C2 at $215. Not a bank breaker price at all, and I can get parts for it. If a hundred bucks difference or so is a deal breaker in favor of a clone, then whatever risk / benefit to buying it is worth it to get fishing I would think. [/QUOTE]
