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:

BigFish 03-05-2011 12:25 PM

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!

BigFish 03-05-2011 12:25 PM

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

saltydog 03-06-2011 08:28 AM
