Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Original Thin Fin UV, 3/16oz Chartreuse fishing lure #9719

Glow-in-the-dark capabilities define the visual appeal of this Chartreuse finish, a feature that comes alive in low-light conditions as the UV-reactive paint takes over. Weighing in at 3/16 oz (5.5 g), this Storm Original Thin Fin UV measures 2 1/4" (6 cm) and carries the product code 9719. Crafted in the USA during the pre-Rapala era, the lure features a flat, shad-like profile with distinct black chevron patterns along its sides. Its deep-diving lip is integrated into the body design for reaching deeper water columns where walleye, salmon, and pike often hold. As a floating model, it serves as a versatile tool for both casting and trolling setups in various currents. The hardware includes two sharp treble hooks mounted on sturdy split rings, consistent with the manufacturer's reputation for durable construction. This specimen maintains a 4/5 condition rating, presenting a very clean surface with only minor evidence of its journey through time. The bright yellow eye with its bold black pupil provides a focused strike point against the vibrant, high-visibility body.
