CCB Giant Pikie question ?

[Ryan560]

Ok cool thanks, my friend wanted me to duplicate some for him he was able to borrow a giant jointed that measures 10 1/2" I wasn't sure if it used the same 1/4" diameter tailweights as the one mentioned in this thread. I remeber reading in one of Frank's books he mentions a 12 or 13" giant jointed which had me confused.
I spun up one today out of awc, still want to try turning one out of wrc I think the white cedar will be a little overweight. The original he has weighs 3.48oz unrigged. I'll be lobbing these from a breachway using an allstar 1208 which should be able to handle the weight.

What's mis understood about the size of the giant Pikie is CCBCO measured the plug from lip to tail hook which added to the demension..

I've made quie a few of these.. and fish a fair amount of them as well... the mid plug body weight needs to be reduced... the heavy slug was put there to combat the back from humping up... I use 5/0 VMC on mine and reduce the weight... a single siwash on the tail keeps the action real... the treble tends to deaden the action..
