Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Hot'N'Tot Thin Fin, 2/5oz Orange / Yellow fishing lure #0042

Orange/Yellow coloring covers the body of this Storm Hot'N'Tot Thin Fin, making it a highly visible choice for varied water conditions. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (12 g) with a length of 3 1/2" (9 cm), this floating lure is engineered to reach depths of 5–13 ft (1.5–4 m). Identified by product code 0042, the design features the iconic oversized metal lip with an integrated snap, a configuration synonymous with deep-diving performance in the vintage USA-made Storm line. This specimen, rated at a condition of 5/5, retains its original finish and sharp treble hooks without signs of use. It was specifically intended for targeting walleye, perch, and pike, whether utilized for drift fishing, casting, or trolling. The transition from the pale yellow-cream upper half to the vivid orange belly is distinct, complemented by a yellow-ringed eye that provides a focused strike point.
