Next are a pair of early jointeds, I made several of the solid hook in the tail eels before changing to a more conventional style... it worked, but not well, the tail section lacked action, the bills were mome made, the next is of one of my first jointed pikie's, this thing is a beast, 12" long made of rock maple, it weighs just shy of 7 ounces, although it appears to be through wired, all connections were pinned,the pins were recessed and then the holes covered with putty, I made 3 different bills to get the damn thing to swim... it caught several fish before i retired it for a more user friendly model...

Next picture is of a few plugs that just didnt workout.... I dont even recall ar rhis time what their malfuntion was... I only know they were in the "abort" bucket
