    Dieter, You're right, it's my trout body with a perch paint job. Do you think it will fool a pike?

    It definately will , Mark ,....... but not in all waters , ......in some places the pike rather feed more on silver-scaled forage fish like roach and bream ,.... but in others they go more for perch ! I know swims over here , were you could cast your arms sore with a perch-colored bait without hardly any strike ,.......but I'm also familiar to other waters , where pike will sometimes even pick a freshly hooked perch off your line :(:eek::lol: ! greetz :yay:, Dieter

    Looks nice to me Mark. Guarantee you'd fool the pike here in MN. Well done. Your top-coat looks heavier on this one, did you add more coats than normal? – bob

    Dieter, Then you'll just have to pick where you fish it. Bob, I just did two coats of Nu Lustre 55, which is what I normally do, unless there are bare spots.
