Whittled quite a while ago now, some rare, 'painted' whittled pieces, I have used and caught pike with a couple of these in the Fens and along the Wensum in Norwich. These were all carved using an Opinel and a Swiss Army knife. Made from a hardwood broom handle. Metal pieces (sinkers) cut from aluminium with a piercing saw. Painted with oil based enamel.
Fig a: A traditional 'S' shape Rise and Dive Plug
Fig b: The Psychotic Frog
The arms of the Psychotic Frog are made from balsa, this makes the lure rise to the surface when not reeling. The silhouette is meant to represent a surface resting frog. This has been successful as a hot summer lure.
Fig c: The Ninja, a traditional 'articulated' pike lure
Fig d: The Mutant Perch
