Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Original Hot' N Tot, 2/5oz Green fishing lure #14492

A metallic green finish defines this pre-Rapala Storm lure. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) and weighing 2/5 oz (12 g), this specimen carries product code 14492. Collectors of early Storm gear will recognize the signature metal lip, which is finished in a matching green on this specific piece. The back is accented with a dark black transition and silver glitter specks, contrasting against the bright yellow and black eyes. Built in the USA, this floating Hot' N Tot is engineered for reaching depths of 5–13 ft (1.5–4 m) through trolling or casting techniques. Its hardware consists of two treble hooks attached via split rings. The condition is rated 4/5, as the finish remains vibrant while showing the minor signs of a lure that has seen water. This Thin Fin series model remains a staple for those targeting walleye or pike.
