Wanted -Bassmaster Dave Manzi Plugs.

[ProfessorM]

sorry Dave I forgot to ask Peter that question. Me forgetful.

I got a beautiful large surfster by Justplugit.

I'll try and post up a few really old large Pikies made by Manziac. They are crude and some of his first ones made. Probably worth millions.

I thought when we are talking about Fatboys those are his fat dannys.

The pikie story I heard was that Bruce May and Manzi started making pikies together under the advice of Mike Fixter and that Bruces pikies where better than Daves then.

This Pikie is supposed to be one of Daves first and actually looks better in the picture than in my hand. Lip is all hand snipped and crude is a kind word. But Dave got much better and I can dig out some later Pikies for pictures that are top of the line pikies.

I need to know all this for as the future curator of the Manzi Plug museum.

I've got this one I'll never use. Flap gave it to me. Its a Manzi Pikie, 8.3", red cedar, very rough (big epoxy sag on the slope which you can see in the picture, re-sawn lip slot, and crude hook holes). Supposedly someone, Manzi maybe, took a massive fish on a similar one. Is signed but I think it would be better fished than hung. I could be open to a trade for it.
