Long been interested but only recently done anything about it. Been having great fun with the vintage gear :Happy: Not tried any vintage piking yet, but come this winter who knows...

I ended up growing tired of making lures to order and hitting deadlines it lost its appeal and I become more interested in pike fly fishing than lure fishing. The pike swimbait (top) was the last one I ever made and donated it as a charity raffle prize

You could easily carve a small crankbait (plug) from balsa and through wire it

They're all amazing, but those two pike !!!


If I saw those I'd cast a dead bait at 'em...they're fantastic!
