It's not a plug but....

I think you all might get a kick out of it. I have been trading/collaberating/corresponding with some midwest decoy builders. The wood body is mine, Dale did the fins and paint. I have several fish he made and collaberated on with others. The fisherman cuts a hole in the ice and covers it with a darkhouse. The fisherman can see into the water, but the fish can't see up through the hole. The fisherman then drops the decoy into water and jigs it on a short stick to lure a pike tothe hole. When in range the fisherman then spears the pike.
Bigfish---these are what we talked about over at M+D's the other day.

Those things are crazy!

What's the strategy? Set up tip ups on the other side of the lake, trudge across the lake, cut a hole in the ice, drop the decoy in and try to beat the frightened fish back across the lake where they'll be comforted by a buffet of shiners?

Adam, they look awesome, almost like Samurai Fishing Lures. Nice work!

I wish I could could claim credit for the chicken fish. Dale, a guy in ohio did that one. Its hanging in my garage. I have several of my own in the works now-bodies and fins done, no lead no paint yet.

Go Bears!

Very Nice..............

Over the Last Several Years HAB'S NEEDLEFISH Have Caught More "Confirmed" 30, 40, 50, and even 60 pound Striped Bass than any other Wooden Needlefish on the Market today. 2 Over 50lbs. and 1 Over 60lbs. in 2005 alone........... "HOOK UP WITH HAB'S" Your Best Bet For BIG BASS.....

I am orginally from Ohio. When I visit home I occasionally visit a decoy builder in the area. Stuff is amazing, as is that one.
