Weighing 2/5 oz (12 g), this original Storm Hot'N'Tot Thin Fin showcases the classic fluorescent green finish that collectors seek from the pre-Rapala era. This American-made specimen, bearing product code 3896, measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) and features a specialized UV-reactive coating that glows intensely under ultraviolet light. The large metal diving lip is designed to bring the lure to depths between 5-13 ft (1.5 - 4 m) while casting or trolling for pike, zander, and perch. A condition rating of 4/5 indicates well-preserved paint and hardware, with the original treble hooks still sharp and the yellow-and-black target eyes clear. The sturdy construction and distinct profile are characteristic of this vintage series, intended for deep-water presentation where high visibility is crucial.
