Pikie

Made my first Pikie a couple years ago. Loved the thing, but stuggled to keep it on top. The orginals swam great but loved to dive. I didn't build to many plugs this winter, but commited myself to improving this one. Well...here they are. Around 6" 2 oz. Swims just the way I invisioned it...Head deep with lot of tail movement on top. Went through 3-4 proto's. Quite interesting how much variation you can get in one plug!

Thanks guys. Didn't build to much this winter. Nobody told me how much work building a boat would be!!!!!!!! That's another story! Anyway...thanks for the compliments. Can't wait to see my first "explosion" on one of these.

Tagger...the yellow is pearl pinapple by createx. I fogged the sides with a bit of silver over netting. Think the color is kinda a mix between the pearly yellow and silver overspray.

Looking forward to the annual trip Jim. I'm not bringing any plugs if Ernie's around!
