I don't care if you copy it, hell, it is a pikie that everyone copies and also took a cue from Mike Fixter and Winch as to what we really need to use on the West Coast, then added the flair on the tail. My reason for that was I like my pikies tail to stay on the surface and by adding a little more wood (flotation device) on the back to keep the tail up.
Does it work any different? nope, just something I do to make it mine

Nice Plug, I think the hooks are to close and will hook each other
I would move the front one back 1/2 inch and lose the 2nd treble

I like the shape and the natural finish

Actually, the hooks do not touch each other. I normally do not put two belly hooks on my lugs but just figured I would go old school Creek Chub style on this one.

Thanks for the compliments all!
