comanche 3,074 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) Amazingly ambitious little chap. Many years ago when they pulled my local Woolworths apart I "rescued " some thick brass plates that had been round the door pillars. Somehow using the most basic and bluntest tools available I hacked and bashed out some 7 to 8 inch spoons .They looked like classic Mr Crabtree type devices that should have had giant pike queing at the net but all I caught was jack after jack on them . Only hooked one decent pike on the brass monsters and I messed up landing it due to slippery banks and heavy floodwater in the Arun. Edited April 2, 2011 by comanche Quote Link to post
russellcur 15 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 cant beat a bit of piking i have had similar experiances with jack pike taking lures almost as big as themselves but what i do find funny is that when spinning for trout the little tiddlers will take lures that you would think that would be impossible to fit in theyre mouths Quote Link to post

They'll have a crack at something as it passes just to knock it of kilter then come back to finish it off and see if it will fit in their mouth. Quote Link to post
