Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Hot'N Tot Thin Fin, 2/5oz Silver / Red fishing lure #4454

Measuring exactly 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, this specimen represents a classic era of American lure manufacturing from Storm's pre-Rapala catalog. The silver chrome finish on the body shows some honest character where the plating has thinned over time to reveal the tan substrate, resulting in a 4/5 condition rating. A vibrant fluorescent red back provides high visibility against the silver flanks, complemented by large yellow painted eyes with black pupils. Outfitted with a signature oversized metal diving lip and integrated snap swivel, this 2/5oz (12g) lure is engineered to reach depths of 5ft to 13ft (1.5m - 4m). Designated with product code 4454, the design is a staple for anglers targeting pike, zander, and perch through trolling or casting techniques. The hardware remains functional, featuring two belly and tail treble hooks secured by original split rings.
