  1. Look up taxidermy glass fish eyes. Nixcreations makes them. Expensive .
  2. I have a pikie from the 80's and its got that glitter on the chin so he's been doing it awhile
  3. The lettering on the plug can help in dating it. Glass eyes were used until about 1960 according to my book. I will look it up if your interested but more pics would help. That paint faded when exposed to UV light so it was probably kept in the closed box otherwise the color wouldn't be so brilliant.
  4. Leave it as is. Take a pic of the box if you would. That's the correct box. Beautiful plug.
  5. I would cover the hooks to protect the paint. Is it the correct box for the plug? That big O looks unfished which isn't that common. Good finds. There are a couple Creek Chub collectors here that could tell you more about that pikie.
  6. Congrats on finding a bass out front in February. I like the lure in top pic, I assume its a lipless crankbait based on shape and line tie placement.
  7. That CCBC pikie appears to be an old one and in pristine condition. Is that the box with it?
  8. You put it in there because without weight you couldn't determine how much to add to achieve neutral buoyancy.
  9. D=g/cm3 Mass which for or purposes is the same as weight is in grams. Since u have 2 of the 3 parameters for V=M/D u can solve for V. Which is what water displacement gets you.
  10. I have a 4" in that color. Not sure what they called it.
  11. Spray on chrome paints will never get you that finish u are looking for. Some look good but as stated earlier they dull when you clear coat. There are companies out there that sell kits but its expensive and time consuming. Pchrome is one but there are several. Silver plating looks like the easiest but I haven't tried it. There are companies out there that will do it for you but I would guess it isn't cheap. The chrome like finishes on most plastic lures is not very durable . in order to get something that is durable you're going to have to spend some money.
  12. Looks nice in the water. How does it do in current?
