Big Water Lures are truly amazing in both size and finish. Each pike is turned from northern white cedar. They have glass eyes from Germany, and stainless-steel lips custom-made by me to get the desired action. The entire unit is through-wired for extra strength, and the hooks are the strongest and sharpest available VMC trebles. Even the split rings have been eliminated for a cleaner profile. Gary hand paints all the plugs in one of his seven signature colors and each tail is hand tied and tailored to the particular coloration of the lures finish using different materials, including bucktail, krystal flash, saddle hackle and chenille.
