Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Deep Thunder Stick, 1/3oz fishing lure #9074

Silver chrome finishes on these vintage Storm baits often tell the story of many seasons on the water, and this Deep Jr. Thunderstick is a classic example of that bright, reflective aesthetic. The elongated diving lip is designed to reach depths of 7–13 ft (2–4 m), making it a reliable choice for targeting walleye or bass holding on deeper structures. This 3 1/2" (9 cm) body features a striking blue back with distinct vertical tiger-style bars over the silver sides, accented by those unmistakable yellow eyes with large black pupils. Weighing in at 1/3 oz (8.8 g), the 9074 model was manufactured in the USA during an era when Storm's color patterns were becoming legendary among freshwater anglers. You can still clearly read the "DEEP JR. THUNDERSTICK" stamp along the side of the lure's flank. This particular piece maintains a 4/5 condition rating, displaying some light surface wear on the metallic finish and hardware consistent with a well-kept tackle box veteran.
