Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Super Thin Fin, 1/2oz fishing lure #15937

Hexagonal scale patterns pressed into the silver sides distinguish this classic Storm Super Thin Fin, a sought-after piece for any collector of vintage American tackle. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g) and measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm), this specimen features a distinctive deep purple back that fades into a shimmering silver honeycomb belly. The oversized yellow eye with its stark black pupil serves as a primary strike point, typical of the bold designs Storm was known for during its manufacturing era in the USA. This particular unit, bearing product code 15937, shows light surface character on the metal lip and body from previous time on the water, earning a respectable 4/5 condition rating. As a sinking rattlin' model, its construction is aimed at casting or trolling for species like salmon, walleye, and pike. The metal lip design is a signature feature of this series, allowing it to reach variable depths while maintaining its posture in heavier currents.
