New pikie. Red cedar (I think), body 6inches not counting lip, 11 inches total from tip of tail to nose. Weight about 2 1/2oz.

Beautiful pluggage. How does it swim?:D

right now it floats because everything is frozen :smash:

You do beautiful work.Its almost a shame to throw that in the water, and get it all bit up.:D

Thanks Rockfish, but Im a newby. Ive only been at it a few months. I dont build showpieces, I build stuff to bang off rocks and get chewed up (hopefully):D If theres a litle blemish in the epoxy...so what, I dont sweat it, I can make a new one. Its just fun, thats why I do it.

By the way Mike, I see Santa brought you your new airbrush and compressor. You sure learned how to use it fast. I'm still rattl'in my cans. Did you ever make those extra blanks?
I'm makin swimmers, I need a darter to copy. Ho Ho Ho
You make beautiful Darters.:rolleyes:

Was that you who I said I would sent some blanks out to? Im sorry but I forgot, I do stuff like that on occasion. If you send me your addy in a PM I get something out to you. Im in popper mode right now, the pikie was just a diversion. Like poppers?

I like em all:D

:eek: holy crap that is a strong vice.....i broke mine tying 3/0 trebles :smash:

Grat job with the plug....did you use a 2 or 3 oz lip?

Its an NJT pikie#3 lip. Held in place with brass pins, not screws.

BTW, thats a Renzetti Traveler vice. Had it for years. Bought it when I used to production fly tie for some local shops. Ive tied down to size 32's on it :D

nice tail, nice paint , nice plug !

:drool:

Nice, real nice.:kewl:

Mike
