Pikie Repaint

Nice Pikie Dano! Good looking repaint.

Thanks, StoneCoal. You make some fine looking baits!

Nice! That lure in that color takes me back to when I was a kid in the 1960's staring wide-eyed through the thick glass of display cases at rows of lures neatly arranged and nestled gleaming and new in their fishing scene adorned paper boxes, with prices like $1.69, plus 3% sales tax, of course. Those green and gold perch brown bars, and fades and scales, were a predominant color in many lure lines in those pre-and-early reservoir-boom days, undoubtedly because they caught fish; and soft-ray baitfish often meant suckers instead of shad.

Thanks Dean! I have fished these old wood pikies and other old baits for a long time. In situations where there is tremendous fishing pressure these old baits can be the trick. I hear Creek Chub Bait Co just this year has re-introduced the old wood pikie, go figure! Glad to hear this adorned chunk of wood ushered you down memory lane.

Kind Regards

Dan, stunning job yet again. Pikie's are my most successful lure of all time but not the jointed version, I don't know why, they just don't do the business for me . I have just bought me a lathe so I am intending to make myself some Pikies.

Keep sniffing that Nitro man :lol:

I know it's a dumb question but how do you repaint without messing up the glass eyes?
