handyman i just took the tallywhacker and the pikiezilla down to the creek for a swim.the tally was draging tail till i took the finishing nail out,its the tailend of a 12" sluggo i think the nail gives it more action,not so for the tallywhacker,swam great once i removed the nail.i really like the way the pikie swam.i'm going to try both on the open beach once things clear up around here.
