Attack of the Krylon Pikies
 

I promise...no more Pikie pics! I tryed some krylon on these when my other stuff ran out. I wanted to do a few more jointed. I liked the way my first black one swam but never got back to it. Thses are the last of the pikies till after I do ANYTHING else.

The one piece in the top pic is a birch with a lefty lip. Swims subsurface with a cool easy wiggle depending on retrieve speed. Fishes like a loaded bomber. That particular one is headed off to the "Bliz Plug road Show"

:kewl: !! Nice u have my address :laughs:

You can show more pikies, really we don't mind :kewl: Good stuff!

Jigman

Sweet scales:kewl:

I also like the way you are recessing the joint of the pikie so the 2 pieces fit snugly together. Thats one of my biggest peeves about jointed lures(the gap)

Gotta love em' SURFSTER, keep them coming! Lookiin at em' kinda keeps ya warm on a cold winter's night. Awesome paint!

PS Like EBEN said about the snug fit, how did you wire them?

let me guess:confused: counter sunk the hole in the back section. so when u tie the tail loop it pulls them togther...what I win:D

Nice jointed Pikies ...I guessing with CS..

Nice! How about a close-up of the joint?

nice:)

Nice!

Grat looking jointed plugs:kewl:

I know a pike that wants to bite the top one.

Is that Krylon from spray cans or another method?

Either way I like'em! ;)

Excellent choice and an excellent addition Hank!!!

I am working on display cases right now for the creations as they come in...

Thanks Hank! :)

Excellent work!... and a Great addition!!! :btu:

Does anyone else do the jointed pikies?...


Just think about the day which is soon coming, where you will be able to come and see these creations 1st hand!...

The Plug Project display will help to alleviate the symptoms of the winter doldrums!

Ummmm
 

:hidin:

OH "THAT" Joint! I'll post a pic with the next one. You'l see it better that way.

The cape man is right. I tie the head like regular plug then slip the loop from the tails head into it. I use the same bit as the belly hook 3/4" deep. When you tie the tail off it snugs up the connection. The loops have to be slim though or the tail will roll too much. I pinch the tail head loop over a 1/8 drill bit and crimp the heads "tail" hoop with pliers.
Thanks for the good words, they keep me pluggin along!

Bliz, I can do another jointed for the Pikie circus, no problem.....I think.

BTW, yes , krylon spray bomb's.

3 years ago I did some
1 left

Are you hangigng onto that one Dave?...

If not, it would be a welcomed addition!... :)

I'm going to be building a jointed swimmer as my 1st attempt at plugmaking...

I gave you one that I made too( or rather, you took one ;) ), don't you still have it?

:laughs:

yeah , I got that long blue and silver by the rocks one You see that one?
