Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Original Thin Fin, 3/16oz Natural / Red fishing lure #0142

A crisp silver hexagonal scale pattern defines the flanks of this 3/16 oz (5.5 g) specimen, contrasting beautifully against the deep brownish-red dorsal finish. This Storm Original Thin Fin, identified by Product Code 0142, represents the classic American craftsmanship of the brand's original USA production era. At a length of 2 3/4" (7 cm), the lure's anatomical shad profile is built specifically for trolling and drifting techniques where maintaining stability in a flow is paramount. The paint remains in exceptional state, earning a condition rating of 5/5, with the black-and-silver eyes still bright and clear. Its hardware consists of two sharp, silver-finished treble hooks securely attached to the belly and tail hangers. The integrated diving lip and thin-bodied design facilitate a natural seeking motion through the water column. Every scale detail in the Natural / Red pattern is precisely applied, highlighting why these vintage pieces remain favorites for collectors who appreciate well-preserved tackle.
