ONE more giant from 04
Forgot one Giant Pikie in the back of my Jeep after testing!
Another 8"er going a touch over 4oz. This one got more weight shifted to the nose for a better dig and thrash
This thing leaves a wake like a small shark is headed yer way and puts a throbbing BEND in my rod like I have a 8lb schoolie on the hook A slightly faster retrieve sends it slightly subsurface but still leaves a swirling bulge on the surface!
To anyone watching me that day I must looked pretty funny casting an 8" plug into a brackish river then laughing till my eyes watered. This while talking to myself...mental notes an all ya know! I'm SURE more than one person thought I was catching fish.

CRAP! Actually I usually am near my Buggy most times. Something that big may have to be stuffed in my waders if I go for a walk.

The eye on the back.....short story to that one.
Although it might appear I intend for that, I scuffed the paint doing the scales! I wasn't doin the base color over again!
Decided to pop a spot on the arse to cover the blem!
Figured "hey what the hell" maybe the bass will zone in on that If they didn't see the eye up front!

Old Skool Rules!
