Museum Archive: Vintage Storm ThunderStick TS09, 1/4oz gold fishing lure #20890

A striking metallic gold finish defines the aesthetic of this Storm ThunderStick TS09 (Product Code 20890), a versatile floating lure originating from the USA. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), the body measures 3 1/2" (9 cm) and showcases a distinct red lateral line layered over a dark scale pattern along the sides. This specific specimen maintains an excellent appearance, rated 5/5, showing the crispness of the original factory paint and the clarity of its clear diving lip. Anglers typically utilize the ThunderStick for targeting zander, as its construction allows it to reach depths between 1 ft (0.3 m) and 5 ft (1.5 m) during retrieval. The hardware consists of two sharp treble hooks secured by sturdy split rings, optimized for casting, twitching, or trolling. The head is finished with vibrant yellow eyes and detailed gill markings that complement the reflective gold-and-red color scheme.
