A shimmering gold finish with a distinct honeycomb scale pattern defines this vintage specimen from the pre-Rapala era of Storm production. This 1/8oz (4g) Thin Fin Shiner Minnow, cataloged under product code 17603, was manufactured in the USA and features the classic flat-sided profile characteristic of the series. The body measures 2 1/4" (6cm) and is equipped with a wide, integrated clear diving lip designed for casting or trolling. Visually, the lure transitions from a dark olive back to silver-gold flanks, punctuated by large yellow eyes with prominent black pupils. Two original silver treble hooks remain attached to the belly and tail hangers. This particular lure is in 5/5 condition, showing a remarkably well-preserved metallic luster across its scale-textured sides.
