This is it Larry-- here is an early Pikie. One of my favorite plugs.

looks like he knew what he was doing from an early age

yep

have you fished that Pikie yet? he wants his plugs to be used...

Wow! Memories! That was a copy from a beauty that Slipknot had given me which I still have! I might have to make some more!!:uhuh: Thats pre-air brush....the dark years....or months!:rotf2:

early bigfish spray bomb plug
I had a jointed swimmer from way back also spray can done, I gave it to saltydog

I also have one of Larry's first needlefish plugs.:uhuh:

YES I HAVE IT;) He is resting, an will be well taken care of.
thank you again:uhuh:

GOOD LUCK GOOD BUILDIN:cheers:

LARRY, after looking at that PIKIE. I noticed Ive been doing my pikies heads WRONG your has a nice SLOPE to it my'in have been more deepcut on the end of the head:fury: an tail is more PRONOUNCED -TAPERED tuff to do hand carving.
looks great
GOOD LUCK GODO BUILDIN:gh:

I do not believe there is a drastic difference in the slope of the head as far as how it relates to the "action" of the plug Rich! Just my .02 cents. The weighting in conjunction with the slope of the head be it "Pikie Style" or a straight angle cut will have more to do with how the plug swims!

PS-As I said that was a copy of a Slip Pikie....I am a fan! He makes a nice Pikie!

LARRY, thank you for the info I do like that style better than what Ive been doing. I got a couple of pecies of wood at plugfest from capesam an I already cut head shape in :smash: wish I had seen it befor I DID IT. thanks again, next season Ill have to try to HO'E a PIKIE form SLIPNOT:uhuh:
GOOD LUCK GOOD PLUGGIN

HMMMM....I'm going to have to dig deep in the Basic Shed. Deep down on a lower shelf there is a Plano Box with some Big Fish Howdy's, a tore up in the best way burnt orange Big Fish Needle and a few more very old goodies!!!!!!

Wow! Memories! That was a copy from a beauty that Slipknot had given me which I still have! I might have to make some more!!:uhuh: Thats pre-air brush....the dark years....or months!:rotf2:
