Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Hot'N'Tot Thin Fin, 1/4oz Tiger / Orange fishing lure #0109

A vibrant Tiger / Orange finish covers the 2" (5cm) profile of this Storm Hot'N'Tot Thin Fin, a lure widely respected among collectors of vintage American tackle. Weighing exactly 1/4oz (6.5g), the 0109 model features an oversized metal diving lip designed to provide stability during trolling or drifting, even when faced with heavy currents. The yellow painted eyes with black pupils sit just behind the lip, contrasting with the dark vertical stripes that define the tiger pattern. Made in the USA, this specimen includes its original snap-swivel hardware attached directly to the metal plane. The condition is a solid 4/5, showing a very well-preserved surface with only slight signs of handling over the years. Two sharp treble hooks are secured to the belly and tail via sturdy split rings.
