Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Hot'N Tot Thin Fin, 1/4oz Green fishing lure #4457

Weighing in at 1/4 oz (6.5 g), this vintage wooden Hot'N Tot Thin Fin represents a classic era for Storm before their acquisition by Rapala. Measuring exactly 2" (5 cm) in length, this specimen features a vibrant green base accented by bold black stripes along its sides, a pattern designed for deep-water pursuit of perch, walleye, and pike. The prominent yellow eyes with black pupils provide a distinct visual focus. Its large, integrated metal diving lip is painted to match the body, showing some honest surface wear from previous outings where it reached depths of 5 ft - 13 ft (1.5 m - 4 m). Labeled under product code 4457, this floating USA-made lure maintains a 4/5 condition, with minor paint loss on the metal lip while the body graphics remain remarkably crisp. Two silver-tone treble hooks are securely attached via heavy-duty hangers. The metal line tie is positioned directly on the lip to stabilize the lure during casting or trolling runs.
