Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Hot'N Tot Thin Fin, 2/5oz fishing lure #19869

Measuring 2 1/4 inches (6 cm) and weighing in at 2/5 oz (12 g), this Storm Hot'N Tot Thin Fin showcases the classic metal lip design that defined the brand before the Rapala acquisition. The finish on this specific unit, listed under product code 19869, features a distinctive chrome and yellow-gold palette. You can see some character in the paint wear on the metal diving lip and the body, reflecting its 4/5 condition rating while maintaining its structural integrity. This floating model is designed to reach depths between 5 and 13 feet (1.5 - 4 m), making it a versatile choice for trolling or casting for zander, pike, and large perch. The hardware consists of two belly-mounted treble hooks, which remain robust and ready for the water. The yellow hue on the upper half of the body transitions into a reflective silver along the sides, a combination frequently favored for its visibility in varying light conditions. The large, stamped metal bill is the heart of the design, providing the necessary resistance to dive deep into the strike zone.
