Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Hot'N'Tot Thin Fin, 1/4oz Green fishing lure #3592

Measuring 2" (5 cm) and weighing in at 1/4 oz (6.5 g), this classic specimen showcases the distinct green hexagonal scale pattern synonymous with early Storm craftsmanship. The prominent metal diving lip is a signature feature of this USA-made Storm Hot'N'Tot Thin Fin, cataloged as Product Code 3592, which allows it to reach depths of 5 ft (1.5 m) to 13 ft (4 m). Dating back to the pre-Rapala era, the floating body design is geared toward trolling and casting for zander or pike. Rated at 4/5, the lure displays a gentle aging on its silver sides and some light surface marks on the hardware, reflecting its vintage status while remaining a solid addition to any collection. Large yellow eyes with dark pupils sit prominently above the lip, providing a high-visibility target for following fish. The hardware includes two treble hooks and the characteristic line tie snap attached directly through the metal bill.
