Re: Tonights surf-chat builder is, " Eurojett ".....
First of all, A BIG Thank You to All Members, Builders, Moderators and Staff for patronizing this awesome website called SBO. The coolest place to hangout. Thanks Skippy and Smitty for this opportunity to showcase a plug building tutorial. I've learned alot from this surf-chat builder and from so many great builders. So, with all that said.......IT'S PIKIE TIME!
Many of you who have been on surf-chat build on a regular basis knows and have learned alot, like myself about plug building from so many greats. So, I will make this short and simple.
To me, the key to building a pikie is having the right tool to make the curved sloped head. I use a 2" drum sander.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Start out by shaping your blank......I don't use a duplicator nor a jig(don't have the skill to make one....lol), so it is all free hand turning. Once you've got the desired shape that you want, you can marked where the eyes, belly hooks and lip slot length will be placed for a certain size.

Next, is to cut the lip slot and the rest of the wood on both ends using a bandsaw.

Set up the 2" drum sander in place, in this case, i use my lathe. All my plug building are done with only 2 power tools. Lathe and a bandsaw. Align the lip slot on the blank, in parallel to the sander and start sanding off to a curved slope head.

Once you have it shaped, a pikie is born.

Here are a couple that have been completed and will be given away to a lucky individual Saturday night. Thanks Again for this great opportunity.

I'd have to agree with the previous post, you definitely make some solid lures Louis. I'd definitely like to get one of those pikies in my plug bag. Keep up the good work man. Shaun
