Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Hot'N'Tot Thin Fin, 1/4oz yellow fishing lure #23787

Vibrant yellow and orange tiger-striped patterns define this 1/4 oz (6.5 g) Storm Hot'N'Tot Thin Fin, a sought-after piece from the pre-Rapala era. Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, this specimen carries the product code 23787 and represents the original American-made craftsmanship that made Storm a staple for walleye, zander, and pike. The signature metal diving lip allows it to reach depths between 5 ft and 13 ft (1.5 m to 4 m), making it an effective choice for both trolling and deep casting. Its condition is rated a pristine 5/5, with the original hardware and paint finish exceptionally preserved. Anglers often utilize this floating model for drifting in moving water, as the metal lip is designed to maintain stability even in heavy currents. The eye is a classic black painted dot over a gold base, a hallmark of these vintage series lures.
