Museum Archive: Storm Arashi Silent Square 3, 1/2oz Hot Chartreuse Shad fishing lure #11674

Tipping the scales at 1/2oz (14g), this crankbait features the striking Hot Chartreuse Shad pattern with its distinct scale-textured back and vibrant yellow sides. Designed to reach depths of 3ft (0.9 m), the Storm Arashi Silent Square 3 is built around a thin circuit board lip that allows for immediate engagement upon retrieval. This specific specimen, identified by product code 11674, remains in unused condition within its original retail packaging. A standout technical feature of the Arashi series is the patent-pending self-tuning line tie, a free-moving design intended to keep the 2 1/4" (5.5cm) lure tracking true without manual adjustment. The body is equipped with rotated hook hangers that nest the VMC treble hooks closer to the frame, a design choice intended to allow for larger hardware while reducing the risk of hangups. Manufactured in Indonesia, the lure's silent construction omits internal rattles, making it a specialized choice for pressured waters where a more subtle presentation is preferred.
