Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Lightning Shad , 1oz fishing lure #14480

A substantial 1oz (28g) weight defines this Storm Lightning Shad, a sought-after relic from the pre-Rapala era of the Storm company. Designed to reach depths between 11.8ft (3.6m) and 21.3ft (6.5m), its oversized clear diving lip is clearly stamped with the model name, verifying its vintage pedigree. The 3 1/4" (8.2cm) body is finished in a nuanced olive and yellow palette, featuring a dark lateral spot and a soft orange belly accent. Prominent yellow eyes with dark pupils provide a high-contrast focal point against the brown-to-olive gradient on the back. This particular specimen, carrying product code 14480, originated in the USA and features a rattling internal chamber for auditory presence. The condition is rated at a superb 5/5, with the hardware and finish remaining in exceptional state. This floating lure is constructed for high-impact casting or deep trolling techniques where reaching the bottom structure is critical.
