Handlebarz Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Hey all I have had some guys asking for lighter Handlebarz for pike fishing so I have done it here are the first of them they will be heading to Bass Haven to get ready for the spring fling on pike fishing. I am calling them Handlebarz Ultralights They are made with 0.051 stainless steel wire 3/0 treble hook the rest is the same lots of flashabou hand tied by myself,two size 8 Colorado blades and are a lot lighter about 1.2 OZ. Canada Day Bruiser Lemon Lime Transparent Chartreuse Angle Wings Kryptonite Fire Tiger
Leecher Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 Excellent work Mike Those toothy critters don't stand a chance!!!
Roy Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 Very nice, Mike. That Angel Wings is especially appealing.
outllaw Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 nice stuff mike. i bet building lures makes life a little more complicated eh lol.
Handlebarz Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Posted April 3, 2011 Thanks everyone I hope to have a chance to get out and use some thins year myself for early season pike. Roy I thought about calling it frosty but after the picture it gave the color a new name. George its still fun so I can deal with the complicated stuff maybe not in two weeks LOL. I am just leaving the house to deliver the first batch of Ultralites.
camillj Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) Yep, I'm with Roy on that one .. Angel's wing for sure .. specially for ice-out specks ! Edited April 3, 2011 by camillj
Handlebarz Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Posted April 4, 2011 Never thought about bigger spinners for them we always used very small ones for the rivers. I guess if your fishing a lake they might do the trick. I did also learn today that some guys will use musky sized lures for walleye here on lake Erie looking for them big buggers.

Handlebarz Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Posted April 6, 2011 I must say the fish fillets are going to be safe as I still have not figured out why people would want to eat fish in the first place. You had me for the delivery until I read Beer if the offer was for some nice crown I would have been there by now
irishfield Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 I have a bottle or three of Crown in the cupboard Mike....
Handlebarz Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Posted April 6, 2011 Dang Wayne I say screw Canada Post I think a road trip is in need I would so love to head up your way for a visit and one of these days I hope the wife kids and myself get to move up north a bit so we can get to more OFC events.
