Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Hot'N'Tot Thin Fin, 2/5oz Silver / Black fishing lure #3796

Weighing in at 2/5 oz (12 g), this classic Silver / Black specimen represents the pre-Rapala era of Storm craftsmanship. Reaching depths from 5 ft to 13 ft (1.5 - 4 m), the 3 1/2" (9 cm) Hot'N'Tot Thin Fin features the signature stamped metal diving lip with a factory-attached snap swivel. The USA-made body shows light signs of use consistent with a 4/5 condition rating, though the distinctive yellow-and-black painted eyes and metallic finish remain well-preserved. This specific model, identified by product code 3796, was engineered for stability during trolling and drifting, holding its line effectively in heavy flows. Robust treble hooks are secured to the belly and tail, ready for targeting walleye, perch, or pike.
