Is anybody interested in Storm Lures?

As part of my efforts at spring cleaning, I want to clear out my stock of pre-Rapala Storm baits.  Yeah, I know that Wiggle Warts are like gold in some respects, but I have more than the standard-size Warts. I have quite a few of some of the less popular baits: Magnum Wiggle Warts, Wee Warts, Thundersticks in various types, and some others intended for saltwater use.

If any OA folks are interested in specific baits/colors/finishes, let me know. We can work out the details.

I tried to message you but it says you cannot receive messages. 
 

Good morning sir. I would be interested in any of the crawfish pattern colors you have like the V37 or phantom colors particularly in the original pre wart but also some in the magnum warts. Please let me know if you have any and a price. Thank you!

Curious...about the messaging problem.  I'll try to get back to you about colors and in what I have available that color.  However, I've found that I have stuff stuck away in boxes and crates and am always finding things I've forgotten.  It may take awhile. Most of the crawfish color variations are intended for salmon and steelhead.  The Mag Wart was a champion in the PNW.

Im interested in some wee warts.

I would be interested in flat warts if you have any. Color does not matter.

After Alex and Daryk I'd be interested regular and wee warts..

I pulled out a salmon box where I knew I had some Mag Warts, and they were there with a bunch of Poe's Hawg Boss crankbaits, and Luhr Jensen Hot Shots.  Then I took a quick look at a stack of utility boxes and found some Wiggle Warts mixed with some of LJ's attempt at building its own version of the WW.  I know I have at least two more large boxes to look through, one of which has a bunch of Wee Warts. But the trouble is that there are also a lot of LJ's Hot Lips crank baits in all three sizes, and I start to remember some trips...  I'm going to fish those (unless someone wants to buy them), and I will cry when I lose the last ¼-ounce Hot Lips.  

I think I only have a few Flat Warts Flysmallie, but there may be more surprises left as I've not touched my walleye crankbait boxes.  

In my brief search, I ran across a couple of boss with dozens of in-line flashers and some regular  flashers as well, not to mention a few Dpsey Divers and Jet Divers. And trolling spoons and Rooster Tails.

This isn't as much fun as it seemed when I started sorting through the pre-Rapala Storm lures I have.  So far, I've found over 50 original Wiggle Warts, a few Flat Warts, some short Warts,  few Lightning Shads, a bunch of Hot'N'Tots in all three sizes as well as a big bunch of Thundersticks in various configurations and sizes and finishes.  I still have one medium utility box to find that has Wiggle Warts and a Wee Wart in its original box.  And I also have the fat version of the Thin Fin and a collection of Chug Bugs. 

But then I also found some Wiggle Warts and short-billed Warts that look like the originals but have a superlative finish-- like way better than the originals--but they're not Rapalas. I was told once that a Storm family member started a company that used the original molds and butyrate plastic to make Wiggle Warts, and I assumed that these super finish Warts were a result.  But then I googled the idea and ran into Dave's Lures-- but he didn't do Warts according to the search.  Apparently, another company did make a run at bringing back the Warts but is now out of business--or so I read.   Dunno, y'know.  

Not sure how I'm going to proceed with this project, but I'll keep plugging away at it--pun intended.

I'd be interested in craw pattern warts as well as the parrot pattern.

[Daryk Campbell Sr]

I'd be interested in flat warts  and short warts as well as the pre mentioned wee warts. Colors are not a big deal.
