Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Original Thin Fin (Pre Rapala), 3/16oz Silver Shad fishing lure #19027

A distinctive Silver Shad scale pattern defines this 3/16 oz (5.5 g) specimen, transitioning from a dark back to a light, cream-toned belly. Stamped on the diving lip is the mark 'THIN FIN PAT. D206,486', identifying it as a genuine USA-made Storm Original Thin Fin from the Pre-Rapala period. This 2 1/4" (6 cm) lure, identified by product code 19027, is a deep-water sinking model equipped with an internal rattle. Its extremely flat sides and large, white-rimmed eyes are hallmark features of the series, intended for techniques like casting and trolling for trout, salmon, and walleye. With a condition rating of 5/5, the lure retains its original finish and factory hardware. The sinking design enables variable depth fishing, allowing anglers to reach specific holding zones in the water column.
