Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Original Thin Fin, 3/4oz Red fishing lure #17604

Weighing in at 3/4 oz (21 g), this Storm Original Thin Fin showcases the classic profile that made this American-made series a favorite for both casting and trolling. This particular specimen, identified by product code 17604, features a striking red-to-silver scale pattern that wraps around its flat-sided body, terminating in a white belly. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm), the lure is a sinking model, providing versatility for reaching variable depths depending on the line count or retrieve speed. As a silent version, it lacks internal rattles, making it an excellent choice for a more subtle presentation when targeting wary walleye, pike, or salmon. A large, prominent yellow eye with a black pupil serves as a high-contrast strike point near the head. The diving lip is finished to match the silver-white belly, a design characteristic synonymous with Storm's early production years in the USA. Both original treble hooks remain sharp and correctly seated, and the overall finish earns a condition rating of 5/5 for its exceptional preservation.
