Newbie - MI Stingers

[Crooked Eye]

I have the stingers, jr. streaks,and galeforce (two sizes walleye and magnum walleye) usually use the walleye size. I am a fisherman no relationship with any company if anyone is wondering. I like the stingers but after one weekend of fishing the paint flaked off. Went back to the baitshop after buying $200 worth and was basically told to bad not our problem by the owner. This did not set well with me so that is why I go to Hi-Way now. The Wolverine jr. streaks did good nice quality and did not bend as easy as stingers. The Gale Force spoons just seem to be higher quality hooks, paint and spoon blank. I like that if the paint gets teeth marks that the antifreeze color is like anodized to the whole spoon. Take that into account and the price is less, for a fisherman it makes sense to have some of these in your arsenal. Side note, to be fair I have never contacted the manufacturer (Michigan Stinger) about this paint issue I hear they will take care of it. I have not tried the Thundermist Viper Spoons yet if any has any experience with them let me know.

For what it is worth, we have had better luck with the paint quality issue with Michigan Stingers in recent years. That said, the other spoons mentioned are good, quality products. I do not believe you would go wrong purchasing any of them.
