Here are two model versions of the old "Pikie" , exactly 5" in length(without lip) .
The baits are rigged with screw eyes , the homemade lip of aluminium sheet is glued and secured to the body with two small screws .
The way , that I did the linetie , is more reliable , as you may think , provided , that lip and wire are thick and rigid sufficiently .
Learned this method from the German translation of a Swedish lurebuilding book .
I have caught a 47" pike , a friend of a friend a 66" silure with my lures rigged that way , no problem about durability !
Tried different "rubber-O-ring" rattlecan paint schemes on these , I like the looks of the white/blue/neonyellow one better , I'd surely get back to this combination one day 
.
Both lures are weighted with a 4 grams lead shot behind their belly hook , and featured a lazier kind of wobble in my bath tub tests prior to painting .
greetz , diemai
