Vintage Storm Lightning Shad (Pre Rapala) , 1/2oz fishing lure #20009

A length of 2 1/4" (6 cm) defines this classic Storm Lightning Shad, a sought-after piece from the pre-Rapala manufacturing period. The body is finished in a high-visibility chartreuse, topped with a textured gold-glitter back and two prominent black spots that serve as striking visual cues. At 1/2 oz (14 g), the lure is engineered for deep-water coverage, reaching between 6.5 ft (2 m) and 11.8 ft (3.6 m) during active retrieval. The clear diving bill bears the "LIGHTNIN' SHAD" stamp, providing an easy point of authentication for the product code 20009. Internally, a noise chamber provides acoustic presence for both casting and trolling applications. Its overall condition is a solid 4/5, exhibiting a well-preserved finish and robust original hardware. Black pupil eyes set against a subtle green-yellow fade on the head complete the profile of this vintage American-made floater.
