Museum Archive: Vintage Storm Wee Wart (Pre Rapala), 1/4oz fishing lure #15505

The vibrant orange belly transition into a brownish-gold back identifies this classic Storm Wee Wart (Pre Rapala) as a standout for collectors. Weighed at 1/4oz (7g) and measuring 1 1/2" (4cm), this diminutive deep-diver is designed to reach depths of 10ft (3.0 m) during casting or trolling. Those characteristic oversized yellow eyes with centered black pupils are a hallmark of the original USA manufacturing period before the Rapala acquisition, making them a favorite for those targeting perch or zander. The crawfish-inspired pattern features dark stripes along the sides that provide high contrast against the translucent yellow-brown body. Labeled under product code 15505, the lure is fitted with original treble hooks and maintains a glossy, clean finish, earning a condition rating of 5/5. The broad diving lip is integrated directly into the head mold, a signature construction detail of this era.
