Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Hot'N'Tot Thin Fin, 1/4oz Steel / Blue fishing lure #0032

A classic silver honeycomb pattern runs along the flanks of this Steel / Blue Storm Hot'N'Tot Thin Fin, a hallmark of early Storm production in the USA. Tipping the scales at 1/4oz (6.5g), this 2 3/4" (7cm) floating lure is engineered for a working depth between 5ft (1.5 m) and 13ft (4 m). The distinct metal diving lip, associated with product code 0032, is built to withstand the pressures of drifting or trolling. Intended for targeting perch, pike-perch, and pike, the design produces a searching motion that stays stable even when fished in a heavy current. A bright yellow eye provides a focal point against the deep blue back. This specimen maintains a 4/5 condition rating, showing subtle signs of its history while the finish remains crisp and highly reflective. Two sets of sharp treble hooks are mounted to the belly and tail for reliable hooksets during casting or trolling sessions.
