Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Hot'N'Tot Thin Fin, 1/4oz Gray / Blue fishing lure #0025

A striking blue-to-silver honeycomb scale pattern defines the visual character of this early American specimen. Reaching depths from 5 ft to 13 ft (1.5 - 4 m), the metal lip is secured by a robust snap swivel for deep-water presentations. Weighing 1/4 oz (6.5 g), the Storm Hot'N'Tot Thin Fin (Product Code 0025) features a 2 3/4" (7 cm) body designed for stability in heavy currents while trolling or drifting for pike, zander, or perch. The color transitions from a deep sapphire along the back to a clean silver belly, accented by large yellow-rimmed eyes. Rated at 4/5, the lure shows careful preservation, with its original finish remaining vibrant and the two treble hooks showing minimal wear. Produced in the USA during the pre-Rapala era, the construction utilizes a floating body design meant for a side-to-side searching motion. Two sets of treble hooks are attached via silver-toned split rings.
