Be careful if your buying or trading for them, lots of fakes out there, they even have the red glitter on the bottom.

A guy on sol bought 6 or 8 and when he asked mike about them they were fakes, I picked one up from him for 20 bucks.

WOW
unreal that someone would go that far to make a buck

I wish I had more,I could use the dough

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

They were so good even Mike had trouble telling them apart at first glance, the signs were the tail wrap and epoxy, nut otherwise real good copies.

these are the ones the guy bought, all fakes, I got one for reference reasons as i built my first pikies this season.

I paid $20, believe the guy paid closer to $50 each

The second pic is my tester version in primer, will probably ditch the split rings on the final ones. 8.5" and 4oz

this is a real one that I got in a fundraiser that has the latest eyes he used and an older one with the eyes he used around 7 or 8 years ago. For comparison. His pikies from the 80's had eyes made of sneaker eyelets with map pins in them
