Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Deep Thunder Stick (pre Rapala), 1/3oz fishing lure #19601

Measuring exactly 3 1/2" (9 cm), the slender profile of this Deep Thunder Stick reflects the original USA manufacturing standards from the pre-Rapala Storm era. A specialized deep diver cataloged under product code 19601, the lure utilizes a transparent body finish with a dark gradient along the back and distinct yellow eyes. Designed as a floating model, it is built to achieve depths of 6.6 ft to 13.1 ft (2–4 m), specifically targeting species like walleye or zander during trolling or deep casting sessions. The specimen is preserved in 5/5 condition, appearing clean with its original hardware and the crisp Storm branding visible near the tail treble hook. Its oversized clear lip is the defining feature for reaching deep structure while maintaining the 1/3 oz (8.8 g) balance intended by the original designers.
