Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Hot'N'Tot Thin Fin, 2/5oz Chartreuse fishing lure #23873

Coated in a bright Chartreuse finish with bold green chevron stripes, this specimen represents the craftsmanship of the pre-Rapala Storm era. Weighing 2/5oz (12g) and measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm) in length, the Storm Hot'N'Tot Thin Fin is a specialized tool for targeting perch, zander, and pike. The metal diving lip, integrated with a metal snap for secure line attachment, allows the lure to reach depths between 5ft and 13ft (1.5 – 4 m). This specific item, identified by product code 23873, remains in 4/5 condition, showing well-preserved hardware and paint. Designed for floating buoyancy, it is effective for casting or trolling, maintaining its natural searching movements and stability even when faced with turbulent currents. The USA-made construction is evident in the classic body shape and the placement of the dual treble hooks.
