Should have the maximum diameter at the shoulders (right behind the face cut). On the one you show, I would taper the back some more. For example, on the giant pikie clone below (also 8 inches), at the front hook it is 1.4 inches in diameter. At the rear hook it is 1.32 inches. Tail is 0.72 inches. I used a Moores Lures Pikie lip for this one. The photo shows a single hook at the rear. I've since changed that out to a treble. 4/0 trebles all around. Hope that helps.
