Vintage Storm Lightning Shad (Pre Rapala), 1/2oz fishing lure #22902

Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length, this pre-Rapala era specimen showcases the classic craftsmanship of Storm's early USA-made lures. A distinctive "LIGHTNIN SHAD" stamp is clearly visible on the clear diving lip, identifying its origins before the brand's acquisition. Weighed at 1/2 oz (14 g), the body features a detailed scale pattern blending dark blue and green tones over a gold underbelly, accented by a bold red eye. This floating rattle bait is engineered to reach depths of 6.5 ft (2 m) to 11.8 ft (3.6 m), making it a versatile choice for both casting and trolling applications. The hardware includes two bronze-finished treble hooks, showing the lure remains in a respectable 4/5 condition. Collectors of vintage American tackle will recognize the specific profile of this 22902 product code model, which represents a transition period in Storm's manufacturing history.
