I built this for a friend, he fishes PIKE an asked if I could do something.:doh: well this is what I came up with, havent weighted it Yet. it's 1"1/8 round head is 3" orange cat eye,body is 6" an tail is 6" overs sized hooks, SS screw eyes, 80lb split rings, hand carved, rattle can painted. you get the first look see, an comments. it's my FIRST one, an suggestion for another would be greatfull.
GOOD LUCK GOOD PLUGGIN:cheers:

Very nice color scheme. I'd probably put the hook in the front half to keep the head from rolling out. Have you tested it? How'd it do?

Do you do your handcarves from blocks or dowels.? Which wood are you using?
Suggestion for future one.. Can I have it ? :)

Great work!
