Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Deep Thunder Stick, 1/3oz Rainbow Trout fishing lure #9562

Sporting a vibrant Rainbow Trout finish, this specimen features a classic green scale-patterned back accented with dark spots and a characteristic pink lateral line. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) and weighing in at 1/3 oz (8.8 g), the Storm Deep Thunder Stick is a staple for those targeting zander or walleye through casting, twitching, or trolling techniques. Its elongated clear diving lip is designed to reach depths between 6.5 and 13 feet (2 - 4 m), making it a formidable tool for deep-water presentations. The body construction on this specific lure, identified by product code 9562, is finished with bright yellow eyes that provide a high-contrast focal point against the trout-inspired palette. Retaining its original luster, the 5/5 condition rating reflects a lure that has been meticulously cared for, with the hardware and finish appearing sharp and intact. This American-made floating minnow reflects the era of Storm's manufacturing history, maintaining the specific profile that became a favorite for deep-water anglers. The two treble hooks are securely attached via stainless steel split rings, positioned to balance the slim profile during its descent into the water column.
