MisplacedTexan99 Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Sweet, always cool to see the antique lures and see how far baits have come. Very cool 1 Quote
primetime Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 That's about as good as it gets. You have the box which is extremely hard to find and it looks to be in great shape. I have been looking to find an Old Pikie but have only found them in the package at flea markets and oldest is 1984? I believe the 2 biggest Florida bass caught and recorded were on a Pikie. I think the biggest was the Lake Tarpon Bass although not sure if that was a Pikie, the Bass Pond and other Pasco fish were on Pikies or jointed Pikie. I am sure those lures still catch fish. I just saw a new batch of Creek Chub Pikies manufactured in the last few years being sold at a bait shop. Kind of like a shallow shad rap lip only metal. I am sure guys still use them. 2 Quote

Super User Gundog Posted March 11, 2017 Super User Posted March 11, 2017 That's just classic Hootie. Great looking combo and a nice piece of history. 1 Quote
Super User Raul Posted March 12, 2017 Super User Posted March 12, 2017 You can bet it's harder to find the box than the lure. 3 Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted March 12, 2017 Super User Posted March 12, 2017 Beautiful. Just like the old "Jalopies" of our by-gone past. But then again, we had the best of it all. 1 Quote
