Are the reef runners that you guys talk about the Deep little rippers? They look like the size of an old Thunderstick. Fleet doesn't have them. Does Gander Mt? Also, what about those new Baits that are this size from Cotton Cordell. They look alot like the old thundersticks too especially the paint jobs. I think those are called Wally Minnows. Do both these baits get down to 20ft.

Reef Runner makes the "lil ripper" but there is a Reef Runner crank that everyone talks about. It is basicly a deep diving "rip stick". All three baits reach 20+ ft. The lil ripper is about maxed out at 20' with 10# mono.

The Cotton Cordell lures, I think, are called Wally Minnow Jr.

The diving wally minnow is available at Galyans in all sizes and new colors, The new super rouges are a Reefrunner killer and definite thunderstick replacement, , put those colors on the shallow suspender and they will grab a huge market. Go Pradco

The Cotton Cordell Walleye Minnow is a great crank. Runs true even when bashed into rocks, stumps, and the like.
Functions much like a “Lindy” Shadling, tough and highly productive lures. They both have very good action and low maintenance, I like that is a trolling crank!
The new Cotton Cordell colors are very representative of all the usual suspects for walleye, plus a few more.
Try the funky-purple critter, it's a killer!

If you go this URL I have pictures of all the
Reef Runner baits and most of the colors.
The little ripper will run down to low 20's ft but that's
about max.

Yes Gander Mountain does stock the reef runner product line. As far as the selection it depends on the store and location. The ohio stores have rippers, deep little rippers and ripsticks and also cicadas. It would be impoosible to carry all the colors but do have a good selection in stores.

A Reef Runner killer? You are fishing for Reef Runners???
Shot... just go to Vermilion Sportsman's Outpost. The Reef Runners are schooled real tight there. Good luck....
