Day sweeem!
Took out the boys to swim last night. Sweet!
The jointed did better than I expected, slithered nice. I will still shave the backside just to look neater. The Pikie seems almost too "wiggly"? Is that possible. When it hit the water and I started a slow retrieve in no current my first words were "Whoa BOY" Easy Now! The nose stayed down and the tail was about 3/4" above water wagging an inch side to side leaving a turbulant wake behind...at a crawl.
The Surfster wanted the same action but I suppose because of the sloped head it wanted to stay just under the surface compleatly leaving just a little ripple on the surface of a glass like water. I think I might add a little weight towards the tail of the Pikie just to drop the tail a little and improve castability. It looks like a fish that wants to swim down in a bad way but has no tail to do it with!
Overall...very happy plugger today! Here comes the primer and paint!
