Since Luhr Jensen stopped making them, I cannot seem to find any where that has left over stock. Can anyone tell me where I can get a good supply? These are my favorites for steelies. graemlins/1zhelp.gif and :cheers:

The next time you are in Eastern Oregon,try the shops over there.Before I moved back here from Bend,I bought what Joes had.That was better than a year aftey Luhr Jensen quit making them.Spin Glows are a good(but expensive)substitute.

Fishermans carries some that are almost the same as the old birdie drifters. they dont come n as nearly as many colors but they usually have plenty of them.

Try Bi-Mart. I don't know about the ones down here but when I was up in Ellensburg WA. they had a butt load of them and stalked up well. :shocked:

I have tried Fishermans Marine, Joes and Bi-mart without luck. graemlins/idea.gif Maybe I can have one of my trucker friends look up North.

Hey - What are these worth seeing as how they seem to be a collectors item? I might be convinced to go dig through my bank fishing tackle boxes and see how many I've got. I was hot on the rainbows back when I was drifting. Might have some for the right price :grin:

Miss B,
You are right, in that they seem to be a collectors item. :shocked:
If you have a sufficient quantity, I may be interested in relieving you of the stress you are being cause by having such inconsequential garbage in your catching box. :rolleyes: Just imagine the new shiny thingys you could put in this space currently being occupied by tiny pieces of ugly foam. :wink: :grin:

My first steelie ever fell to a pink and pearl birdy. I'll always have a special spot in my heart for them. I've even got some of the old hard plastic ones I inherited from my Grandpa.
