Photo Gallery / Pike poppers
« Last post by ctom on 03/13/26 16:28 UTC »Do-It’s 8606 Pro Walker makes a great large pike popper style of lure. The big pike have me reaching for anything done in a color close to Rapala’s, retired, cold steel. These guys have been done as close as I can get to cold steel but the camera filters out the nice blue hi lite that the factory color shows right about at the lateral line.
All of the paint colors are Do-It’s Bait Blast colors along with the blue hi lite and the CS Seal Coat that finishes the lures. They’ll get some #4 split rings and some size 4 gammi trebles, all available at Do-It’s store online.
These dudes have a guaranteed boat ride in another three months when my fishing buddy and I turn out attention to BIG pike on the Mississippi River.

I've been mentioned in some articles in the past, and that & $4 will get me a cup of coffee in most places!
But it is cool to read something like that about someone we know, and how they are getting some accolades for what they do. At least it means other folks are paying attention! That's good!
