A vibrant blue-to-green gradient covers the back of this vintage deep-diver, a classic from the Pre-Rapala era of Storm production in the USA. Measuring 3 1/4" (8cm) and weighing 1oz (28g), the Lightning Shad is engineered to reach depths between 11.8ft (3.6m) and 21.3ft (6.5m) when targeting deep-water structures. The clear, wide lip is stamped with the "Lightning Shad" name, providing a reliable identifier for collectors of original Storm hardware. Its translucent body is accented by a prominent black shad spot on the flank and large yellow eyes with black pupils. This specific specimen, identified by product code 16968, maintains a 5/5 condition. Primarily used for casting and trolling, the internal rattles provide sound while the lure's construction is finished with two original bronze-toned treble hooks.
