Chris - really nice pikies. I have a pike question.

Chris has the slot for his lip almost at the top of nose and the line tie is right there right at the bend. Fixter has his slot on some pikies a little further down. I have some Bassmasters where the lip slot is very high but the line tie is halfway down the lip and others at the top. Maybe has to do with the lip you use. Personal preference?

My lip slot is dead center of the plug, line tie is in the lower 1/3 of the body

When I made by first ones (2013) I went by a fixter Iand Mac I had for reference, both were the same placement, so followed what they did, same as the creek chub

Might be the angle of the pic that looks odd
