Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Original Thin Fin, 1/3oz silver fishing lure #21919

"THIN FIN PAT. D206,486" is clearly stamped on the cream-colored lip, identifying this Storm Original Thin Fin as a classic piece of American tackle history. Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length, the flat-sided profile is finished in a silver scale pattern that transitions into a dark grey back. The oversized white eyes with black pupils give it that signature vintage look collectors recognize instantly. This specific specimen, carrying product code 21919, remains in 5/5 condition, showing well-preserved paint and hardware. The construction features two belly-mounted treble hooks attached with split rings, making it a reliable choice for both casting and trolling setups. Designed as a sinking lure, it allows for a variable working depth depending on the retrieve speed, a feature originally intended to target perch, zander, trout, and salmon. The 1/3 oz (10 g) weight provides enough mass for reaching deeper targets while maintaining the stability required for fishing in turbulent flows.
