steel head, if you use NJtackles large pikie lip and pace the through wire on the nose of the pikie in the centerof the plug you'll get a deep diver...(you could also tweak the loop of th ewire upard) also, if you put some weight under the chin and use a larger belly hook, lilke a 4/o VMC it will dig better.

I'm not a pikie expert, but this is what i do to achieve this

deep diver lip

I'll try to post a picture of what I've seen. The lip seems to be an extended version of the normal lip. I've seen them on the smaller pikies, like 4 1/2". Don't know if they ever appeared on any bigger ones.

I fish from shore right now. There are some deep holes along some rocks that I would like to dredge a nice wooden plug thru. Maybe nexy year, troll from a kayak.

Eben, thanks for the suggestion on lip placement and sizing. I'll try that on one or two of my next ones. (I've become fascinated with jointed plugs...)

There is a fine line that seperates a fisherman from a fool standing in water swinging a stick.
