To all you fisherman and women out ther that like the old style t-sticks here is a suggestion,when you go to your local sporting goods store let them know you are not happy with the changes made to the storm line of lures.Maybe just maybe if enough of us complain they will bring the old style back.If anyone knows where I can send in a complaint to Normark please post it on as many boards as possible.Word of mouth is powerful stuff.The quality of the new line is not what I have come to expect from Normark.Get the word out and hopefully they will bring the old style back.

I too tried to find a comment phone number for Normark or an email address with no luck. I do admit that I did not work real hard at it. It would be great to send them links to some of the discussions on this NUMBER 1 fishing site in the world from the smartest and most important anglers in the world, the walleye slayers! :)

see if http://www.rapala.com/makefrmproducts2.asp
will get you there. there's some sort of contact tool under "investor relations" given em heck for me, too. I lost may favorite wigglewort at Mille Lacs last month, does not look like anything they make now! I agree with previous posts, Normark should get a conservation award for all the fish that will now survive their new line of lures. m

I found that too but that is just for an investors report. There is no place for comments, otherwise I would have let them know my opinions of their practices.

I know how you feel, and it's nice to see I'm not the only one. I had good success using the firetiger baby thundersticks this past fall, and early spring, Especially in muddier water. At a small lake in Chicago where I fish the walleyes would hammer the thing.
This new firetiger hotrod-striped bait is brutal, It's more blueish green than the original,looks extremely unnatural and the walleyes scoff at it. Have yet to catch one on this new lure. I wish there was a way to get the old Thundersticks back.
I managed, after weeks of looking find a tackle dealer that still had a few of these older style Thundersticks around and I went nuts, buying $30.00 worth. Problem is, I'm afraid to use them.

I feel your pain but...My favorite tackle scrounge and dealer has struck again! Johnny at Five Seasons Bait came up with about 300 old style Thundersticks, variety of colors(sorry guys, no prisms:-() He'll ship'em to ya. call him @ 319-362-0544. I filled up on his last bunch and this new lot is hardly picked over(lots of firetigers). Good Luck
