Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Hot'N'Tot Thin Fin, 1/4oz Yellow fishing lure #3946

Vibrant yellow paint characterizes the finish on this 2" (5 cm) Storm Hot'N'Tot Thin Fin, a classic find from the pre-Rapala era of USA production. Weighing 1/4 oz (6.5 g), the lure features a distinctive orange hue around the head and a tapered teardrop profile. This floating model is designed to reach depths between 5 and 13 ft (1.5 - 4 m) for anglers targeting perch, zander, or pike via trolling and casting. This specimen is preserved in excellent condition, rated 5/5 for its clean surfaces and intact components. The hardware on product code 3946 consists of original silver-finished treble hooks and the signature metal diving lip, which provides a searching movement while maintaining stability even in heavy currents.
