Large yellow eyes with deep black pupils dominate the front end of this classic popper, marking it as a vintage Storm production. The Storm Chug Bug, identified by Product Code 16294, features a detailed scale pattern that transitions from a dark back to a bright yellow belly. Weighing 2/5 oz (11 g) and measuring 3 1/4" (8.5 cm), the lure is built for surface casting targeting pike and perch. A bright red gill slash provides a strike point near the cupped face. On the tail end, the rear treble is dressed with an iridescent tinsel trailer that provides a subtle shimmer. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing remarkably clean hardware and a vibrant finish that hasn't faded over time. Internal rattles provide the characteristic noise associated with this floating model's design.
