Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Rattlin Thin Fin UV, 1/3oz fishing lure #10826

Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm) in length, this pre-Rapala era specimen showcases a striking honeycomb scale pattern etched across its blue and yellow sides. Weighing 1/3oz (9.5g), the Storm Rattlin Thin Fin UV (Product Code: 10826) is a classic choice for casting or trolling when targeting salmon, bass, and walleye. The color palette transitions from a deep blue top to a bright yellow belly, punctuated by a subtle orange glow at the bottom and a sharp red gill mark. Its large yellow eyes with centered black pupils provide a distinct visual profile. One of the most compelling features of this 10826 model is the UV reactivity, which allows the body to emit a bright green luminescence under low-light conditions, as seen in the dark-room images. The hardware includes two treble hooks and a sturdy clear diving lip. This floating, noise-making lure remains in excellent condition, earning a 5/5 rating. Storm originally manufactured these in the USA, and this specific Thin Fin carries that legacy of American-made durability.
