Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Hot'N Tot , 1/4oz Golden Metallic / Black Stripe fishing lure #0104

Golden metallic plating gives this 2" (5 cm) vintage find a timeless appeal, especially when paired with the high-contrast black stripe along the spine. This Storm Hot'N Tot, identified by product code 0104, represents the craftsmanship of the Thin Fin series originally produced in the USA. At a weight of 1/4 oz (6.5 g), the lure is equipped with a signature metal lip designed for stability during trolling or drifting sessions in various currents. The yellow eyes with bold black pupils provide a distinct focal point against the reflective gold body. Both treble hooks and the lip snap are constructed from durable hardware, consistent with the 4/5 condition of this specific piece. While many later models transitioned to plastic components, the integrated metal lip on this specimen remains a favorite for collectors who value traditional construction and specific tracking characteristics.
