Museum Archive: Storm Original Hot'N'Tot, 1/4oz fishing lure #11931

Weighing in at 1/4oz (6.5g), the metal-lipped design of this specimen identifies it as a classic from the Storm Original Hot'N'Tot series. This 2" (5cm) lure features a striking orange body base accented by bold black vertical markings, a high-contrast pattern designed for visibility in various water conditions. As a Condition 6 item, the lure is unused and remains housed in its original blue and yellow window packaging. The oversized metal diving lip is stamped with the "HOT 'N TOT" logo, a hallmark of the Original Series produced in the USA. Technical specifications for this model typically place its diving range between 7ft and 14ft (2.1m and 4.3m) depending on trolling speed and line diameter. The hardware construction incorporates two belly trebles and a line tie snap pre-attached to the lip. The packaging displays the product code 11931 and heritage Storm branding, making it a well-preserved example for collectors focusing on original series tackle.
