View Full Version : Found some old Thundersticks, pre-rapala.
One style, one color. They're Deep Jr. # DJ216.
It's kinda a fire tiger style, Baby blue on top, char sides with an orange striped pattern and an orange bottom.
I've fished firetiger raps and been happy with the results, any opinions on this color of t-stick(confidence never hurts).
Bought the last 1/2 doz. they had @ $2.50 each. Trolling the fishing dept. at lunch hour pays off once in a while.
Thanks.

I've got a bunch of that color in Hot-N-Tots. Works great for us in the stained,muddy crud we call Lake Mac. I'm sure they'll catch fish just like the regular Firetiger or Hot Tiger patterns. There is also the Purple Tiger pattern where the purple is in place of the blue. It's a little more subdued than the bright blue and could be the ticket some day. I'd ask where you got them but since you got them all it doesn't really matter. Good shopping and Good Fishing to you, too, neighbor. I knew you were in Alaska. There are quite a few of us in S.W. Lower Mi. ( The Walleye Capitol of the World!,,,, we can dream!)lol
Picked em up at Meijer on Alpine ave. Checked Jenison tonight and nothing there. Tight lines!

I wish they wouldn't have changed the Thunderstick. My son used the old Thunderstick to catch those fish (previous post...6,7,7,8,and 9+ lber's) and I am very nervous whenever I get one of those snagged up. In fact, I went out and bought my first lure retreiver the other day so I have a better chance of retreiving them if I snag them up. I am convinced that the old style Thundersticks are some of the best lures ever made.
Yeah, I feel the same way. I worked for 25 mins to get my last natural silver t-stick free 2 weeks ago. I was so happy when I got it back. I lost it on the river bottom at night the next day, my last in that color! Doh!
I'm ordering my retriever today, I should have done that a long time ago.
