Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Deep Jr Thunder Stick, 1/3oz fishing lure #1228

Dressed in a classic olive-to-gold scale pattern peppered with fine orange dots, this specimen shows the craftsmanship of an American-made Storm lure. Identified by product code 1228, this Deep Jr Thunder Stick measures exactly 4" (10 cm) and carries a weight of 1/3 oz (9 g). The long, clear diving lip is designed to reach depths between 6.5 ft and 13 ft (2 m to 4 m), making it a reliable choice for targeting walleye in deeper water. Its slender profile is complemented by distinct red eyes and original treble hooks. In terms of condition, the lure sits at a 4/5, showing only light signs of previous time on the water while maintaining its vibrant finish and hardware. Anglers often reach for this floating minnow design when casting or trolling over structure where a deep-water presentation is key.
