| Can anyone help me getting a original wooden strait Creek Chub Pikie? I would really like to have one since it's one of the earliest muskybaits around just like suick's and so. It gives me a real kick catching a big pike on unusual lures. I recently bought one of ebay but it was a plastic one. Even though the seller told me it was a wooden one. So that didn't work out! Who can help me getting a good wooden one?
Since I live in The Netherlands it's difficult getting one. I wille pay a normal price and costs for sending it to the Netherlands.
Who can help me.

| I think this bait doesn't have the through wire system but screw in eyes. Who helps me getting a good one? I don't care for color. But it must be in a fishable state and strait running. |

It sounds like you want an original Creek Chub. I think your best chance is to try Ebay again or keep monitoring the buy/sell pages here for one that may show up in the future. I have bought a couple of jointed ones on Ebay in the past. Maybe I was lucky, as I got 2 wood ones.
Maybe try looking for one that is scratched and the bare wood is visible in the photo. Then you would have some confidence that you are getting a wood lure. |

HAHAHA.......Send my greetings to the Funky Bunch!!
Relax your requirements! The pike won't check which model number before they bite it! Get one that is 4-8 inches long. The largest are the versions they made for saltwater striper anglers. I think they were called "striper pikies". But.. there are many other models (smaller sizes) that would catch pike for you too.
You must educate yourself a little for what you seek. Not sure, but I think Pikies with larger model numbers have larger body sizes. I think they went into the 5000s for the striper pikies. The wooden lures went out of production long ago; maybe 25 years ago?
You're trying to buy a lure in a market with many collectors. If you want to remain very specific about what you buy, it may be best for you to buy a book about antique lure collecting. It would be formatted like a directory with: manufacturers, model numbers, descriptions or photos, and typical market prices for the date of publication.
Frequently on Ebay the sellers put a ruler next to the lure in the photo, so you have a reference about its size.
Good luck with your search. Be careful, you may become an antique lure collector before you know it! |

Location: Southern Ontario, Detroit River and Lake StClair | Search for the user "Fishalot" he's a buddy of mine and PM him. He has a Pikie collection worth more than a lot of peoples boats on this site. He's broken it up now and sold some off but I know he has some non-collector models that I'm sure he would part with. He'd also be able to answer all your Pikie questions if you have any. I have a few straight Pikies but won't be parting with them any time soon.......they catch too many fish.
Good Luck
Tim

Location: London, England | Look for striped bass lure shops on the web. Can get new wooden CCPs and a couple of hundred similar alternatives. Those Cape Cod bass seem to like that style of bait. |
