Starting up my second season

with BIGGER Pikies this time. About 6.5" and 2.5oz.
(what else would you expect from me?)
Learned a little do's and don'ts this past season and hope to improve this season. By the way..2 of these tailwaggers have little but noisey worm rattles up der aft vent.

My first finished project with something new for me

Goes a little over 4" and 2.5oz. Semi suspending lazy "S" pine minnow. NJT lefty lip works well on this casting bullet.

Thanks guys...different wood? No just different time soaking in sealer. The ones soaked longer sit a little lower and run subsurface. Also add about 1/2oz to the plug...ah experiments!

Let the records show as well that this is the FIRST TIME BM has ever replied to one of my posts.
There goes my Cherra!

Tried the swirly thingy with tin foil on two of them. Think I'll stick to the standard stuff!
