Palmetto Balsa Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Great looking plugs. Do you add any weight to the tail to increase casting distance? I can't wait to see the paint job you'll use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rofish Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 You call them mini pikes? 4"? The biggest crankbait I made so far is a little over 3". A matter of different approaches, I guess. They look like being able to swim well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
