Museum Archive: Storm Thin Fin Hot N Tot, 1/4oz Dark Red / Metallic fishing lure #0039

Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, this specimen represents the classic American-made construction collectors look for in the Storm lineup. The deep Metallic Dark Red finish covers the 1/4 oz (6.5 g) body, catching light with a rich, jewel-like luster. This Storm Thin Fin Hot N Tot, product code 0039, features the signature oversized metal lip stamped with the "STORM LURES" branding. This specific lip design is engineered for stability during trolling or drifting, even when faced with heavy river currents. You will notice the large yellow eyes with prominent black pupils, a hallmark aesthetic that provides a high-contrast target. The hardware consists of two sharp treble hooks secured by sturdy split rings. This lure is unused, with the metallic surfaces and hardware remaining in pristine state. Manufactured in the USA, it retains the original craftsmanship from a period when these metal-lipped divers were staples for walleye and steelhead anglers. The line tie is positioned directly on the metal lip, utilizing a dual-snap swivel for secure attachment.
