Yes, its true. The Hot N Tot has gone the way of the Thunder stick. They are now making them with a plastic, glued on lip, and only in Normark colors. Good Bye to one of the best lures ever produced. I tried calling Rapala and was told that they dont have an e mail adress for complaints. Then I got to talk to a machine. They dont want to know what we like to fish with. Its just an easy way to eliminate the competition.. Larry

I am not sure how long Hot-N-Tots have been out on the market, but I think after 20 years the patent runs out.I remember using them in the early 80's. Anyone feel like getting into the lure business?

Storm introduced Hot N Tot lures in 1972. I sure wish someone would manufacture them, as well as the Thunder Stick and Wiggle Wart. All have been top producers. Larry

I still see lots of them in the stores in the old storm boxes with the old storm logo. Should I be buying these up? Its possible that the new ones could be better. Doubt it but you never know.

Buy them now! I have been going through ##### finding the old thundersticks. I am buying as many as I can because they may be gone forever.
