Museum Archive: Storm Arashi Rattling Square 5, 2/3oz Rusty Craw fishing lure #11709

Coated in a striking Rusty Craw pattern, the body features distinct green vertical striping over a metallic copper-bronze base. Weighing in at 2/3 oz (18 g), this 2 1/4" (6 cm) Storm Arashi Rattling Square 5 utilizes a thin circuit board lip to reach its 5 feet (1.5 m) diving depth efficiently. The hardware configuration utilizes VMC hooks on rotated hook hangers, which keeps the points nested closer to the belly to reduce hangups while allowing for upsized hooks. A self-tuning line tie is integrated into the design, allowing the lure to maintain a straight track without manual adjustment. Identified by product code 11709, this particular specimen is unused and presented in its original retail blister pack. High buoyancy levels allow the lure to rise away from snags, a functional pairing with the square lip design intended for deflecting off hard cover. The Indonesian-made internal rattling system generates a distinct acoustic footprint suitable for both casting and trolling techniques.
