Museum Archive: Storm Arashi Rattling Square 3, 1/2oz Blue Silver Shad fishing lure #11708

A weight of 1/2 oz (14 g) makes this Storm-engineered crankbait a reliable tool for reaching a running depth of 3 ft (0.9 m). The Blue Silver Shad finish is meticulously applied, featuring a scaled blue back that fades into silver sides, complete with a dark side-dot and a striking eye with an orange-gold iris. A thin but durable square circuit board lip is integrated into the head to facilitate quick diving and deflection off structure. Inside the body, an internal rattle provides sound, while the patent-pending self-tuning line tie is a free-moving design that ensures the lure tracks straight during the retrieve. This Arashi model utilizes rotated hook hangers to nest the VMC hooks closer to the body, reducing snags and allowing for a larger hook profile on its 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) frame. Produced in Indonesia for Rapala VMC Corp., this specimen carries product code 11708 and remains in unused condition, preserved in its original retail packaging. The back of the card details the technical mechanics, noting the lively rolling motion and tail kick that define this series.
