I want to buy the shallow Jr. Thunderstick, it has a blue top, an orange bottom(natural, not bright) and mirrored sides. I cannot find them anymore and just lost my last one. If you have some, please let me know what you'd want for them.
Also, I see that Normark has changed the Thundersticks, they aren't the same shape they use to be at all. Now they just look like floating Rapalas.

Well your way behind, the old style thundersticks have been sought after for quite some time, everyone is after all the old colors, and it looks like your best bet is ebay..good luck

I also noticed some people selling them on ebay. But don't thing you'll get a good deal there, I saw some going for $15.00 to $20.00 a piece!

Let's try this track,
Has anyone used the new Thundersticks?? I saw bins of them at the Bass Pro spring show and they were going like hot cakes. If people are buying them, there must be people using them. How are they working? I too loved the venerable Thunderstick, and wished they didn't change them. But, I have not used a new one yet, are they any better? or the same? or worse? And I don't want any, we killed em here last year, but this year not a fish. That is not always the lures fault. Some honest answers. Do they run true out of the box? Do they de-tune themselves after a big fish like the old T sticks were prone to do? Did you get one right out of the box that just wouldn't run true? As the old T sticks were prone to do? Change isnt always bad, and people never remember the bad aspects of anything. There were some tremendous negatives with the original, how are the new ones different? Thanks.

First off I have had good luck with the new thundersticks. I've caught salmon with them and some walleye. The Scheels store in Sioux Falls has the old thundersticks. There were some jr.'s left and there were alot more of the bigger ones.

The color you are looking for, I believe is the blue back prisim, w/orange belly.

Tew's Sport shop in Oshkosh, has a good assortment of the old thundersticks, but they are going fast. You might want to call Ed,

I have been using the baby thunderstick all weekend. Limited on friday, saturday, sunday. i like them better than the old ones. mine seem to run true out of the box and stay tunned. Plus they dive a little deeper
