Red scale patterning transitions into a silver-scaled body on this classic Storm Original Hot'N Tot. Weighing 1/4 oz (6.5 g) with a length of 2" (5 cm), this specimen hails from the pre-Rapala era when Storm produced the Thin Fin series in the USA. The oversized metal lip is a hallmark of the design, engineered to reach depths of 5–13 ft (1.5–4 m) during trolling or casting sessions. This specific lure, product code 9958, features distinct yellow eyes with large black pupils that stand out against the metallic finish. It remains in 5/5 condition, showcasing well-preserved hardware including both treble hooks and the original snap swivel attached directly to the diving plane. Originally intended for species like walleye, perch, and pike, the floating body construction is a testament to vintage American tackle manufacturing.
