Vintage Storm Hot'N'Tot Thin Fin, 2/5oz silver shad fishing lure #23822

Weighing in at 2/5 oz (12g), the silver shad finish on this specimen shows the classic chrome-like quality of early Storm production. This 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) Hot'N'Tot Thin Fin, carrying product code 23822, dates back to the era before the manufacturer's acquisition by Rapala. Its signature metal diving lip features a dual-hole tuning system designed to help the lure reach depths between 5 ft (1.5 m) and 13 ft (4 m). The distinct yellow eye with its black pupil remains clear, offering a sharp visual point against the metallic body. Rated at a 4/5 condition, the hardware shows some light signs of its age but remains robust and functional. Developed for trolling and drift fishing, its design is notably stable when pulled through heavy currents or fast-moving water. The body shape and metal lip work together to target predators like pike, zander, and perch.
