Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Minnow Stick, 1/2oz Fire Tiger fishing lure #9907

A weight of 1/2oz (14g) provides the necessary ballast for the Storm Minnow Stick, a classic USA-made lure carrying the product code 9907. Measuring 4 3/4" (12 cm) in length, the body features a Fire Tiger pattern with a gradient moving from a dark green dorsal side to a bright orange belly. Distinct black vertical bars with red interior highlights and small red dots along the lower flank characterize this specific paint scheme. As a floating model intended for casting, the design is built to reach depths of up to 5ft (1.5 m). Three treble hooks are secured via split rings, and the condition of the specimen is rated at 5/5, showing a remarkably clean finish and a clear plastic diving lip. The yellow eyes with large black pupils are positioned forward, just above the lip, serving as a classic visual hallmark of these vintage Storm minnows.
