Results of BIRDIE Buying Mission

[No Wishin Just Fishin]

Kentucky Hog Hunter, Scrimmy, and I climbed into my truck at 8 am for a northern run for what we heard was a store with rainbow Birdies. They were right they DID have some. $500 later they no longer had any. KHH will post a picture of the store later so You can see what it looked like before and after the buying mission. And yes boys and girls they were real birdies

NoWishin', thanks for driving! What a haul! Well, they did have a "few" left in other colors, but I think we wiped them out of every rainbow colored birdie left in stock.

KHH out did us hands down! Being a few years younger than NoWishin and I, KHH had to buy a lot more of them to get him through the rest of his life! :grin: :grin: Even then, I think he'll leave a few for his grandkids! He did mention something to the effect that the Wilson will have the best decorated trees on the coast!

Scored on some hard to find older Storm Wiggle Warts too and a cool Wee Steelie Wart.

Hmmm, now the fun part....telling my wife what the $$ damage $$ was :grin:

Did They quite making them ?? I have been out of the loop on gear fishing for a while I took up the fly rod and have not looked back But whats the deal. If they work why would they quit making them????

[No Wishin Just Fishin]

Luhr Jensen said they could make more money with other production. They would have been 75 cents a piece if they kept making them. As good as they worrk $1 a piece would be good. In fact I have a few at that price

My guess is SPORTCO in Fife!!!! or JOHNS in Everett.

[skrimmy]

Fshklr - Maybe the third guess will be closer! :grin: Thanks for playing!
