Old style Storm Warts for sale again.

I just had my memory jogged.

I have been wanting to post this for those interested. I saw (in person, with my own eyes)the old style Storm Wiggle Wart for sale. The original 2 piece ones (not an older color broght back in the new 3 piece one) but the genuine 2 piece wiggle wart. These were the genuine article. The came in the old style box but had the new Storm lightning bolt logo.

Just thought I would throw this one out there if it hasn't already been.

I have seen them. They are not the original wiggle wart, just a cheap imitation. They are not going to make hardly any of the original colors and the paint jobs aren't nearly as good. If you will look close at the box it is not even the same. I have a very large collection of the old style wiggle warts and the new ones are not the same. The truth be known it is not even storm that manufactures them, they are made by someone else in China. Don't be fooled.

They are not even the same.
There is only 12 colors I believe with half of them being bass colors.
Quality?
I compared them with Brad's and there was a big difference.
Both are made in China but obviously not all Chinese manufactures are the same.

Let it be known that I was told from a rep for Rapala (who now owns storm) that the company has planned to release some of the old favorites of steelhead fisherman. It will be different from what storm has been putting out since the buy out.

It's like what is the big deal?
Brad's Wiggler's catch fish right out of the box and I don't say that because I know Brad, but because many ifisher's and non-ifisher's and including my self can voutch that they catch fish.
Even Jen can verify that.

Every plug out there can catch fish, and the Brads are great plugs. Every fisherman has there favorites and they may be different from your favorite. I have caught fish on brads, storm and hot shots as well as others. When some one gets excited about something they like, who has the right to tear that down. Brads are great, so are the storm.

I actually like Brad's lures better. I love the colors and I am a fanatic for the new lil wiggler. Can't wait to chase some steelhead with them.

Brad deserves a [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]

he and his brother Guy are squared away. I worked for their dad in the early 90's... both of them are great guys... support a local in my opinion...to heck w/Storm they had a good product, Brad kept it going
