Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Hot'N'Tot Thin Fin UV, 2/5oz White / Red UV Glow in UV light, Fluorescent fishing lure #4163

Reaching depths between 4.9 and 13.1 feet (1.5 – 4 m), this specialized crawler serves as a technical choice for walleye, perch, and pike. The Hot'N'Tot Thin Fin UV, identified by product code 4163, features a distinct fluorescent color profile with bold red stripes over a white base. Under ultraviolet light, the finish exhibits a powerful glow, a feature specifically designed to increase visibility in deeper water columns or during low-light sessions. Weighing 2/5oz (12g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), the lure is equipped with its signature metal diving lip and two sharp treble hooks. This specimen represents the pre-Rapala era of Storm production in the USA, a period highly regarded by collectors for its manufacturing standards and stability in turbulent flows. Whether utilized for drifting, casting, or trolling, it remains a quintessential piece of fishing history. The condition is rated at 5/5, showing a remarkably well-preserved body and clean hardware.
