7" yellow perch

Looks like a good swimmer.

This series of lures, meaning the others I made the same size, shape,and weighting, swim really well.

I had to ship this one out before I could swim test it, other than float testing it, but it should be fine.

On a really slow retrieve, the bait "tails", that is, the plastic tail is partly above the water, and moves back and forth with the slightest breeze or current. To me it looks like a bone fish or a trout at the surface.

I'm hoping it pisses off the pike, or, at least, makes them think "here's an easy meal".

I don't know if dead sticking is done for pike, but, if it is, this lure should shine. The belly is a trans. yellow over high gloss white, so it should stand out well.

And on a medium or fast retrieve, it swims well. If that's what pike like, they got it!

To burn it really fast, you need to put the rod tip into the water to keep it from rolling over, because it's buoyant.

Of course, I've never fished for pike, but I understand you need a wire leader for their teeth, and that may keep the nose down enough on a fast retrieve.
