Harold Scoggins Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Going through some boxes in Bass Central (man cave) last night and found these. The tin hooks were not that great, but the lure caught fish. 6 Quote
KDW96 Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Yep, ive got some stashed somewhere,in one of the fish cabinets. Quote
Super User scaleface Posted March 20, 2020 Super User Posted March 20, 2020 I use to use those a lot in farm ponds . It was the first bass lure I ever bought .Quit using them when I discovered bait casting gear . I still use the Rattlin Thin-Fin. They are heavier and cast well . Quote
Tucson Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 That's a new one on me, like the price stickers though! Quote
Super User Raul Posted March 20, 2020 Super User Posted March 20, 2020 Storm Thin N, stock hooks on those were junk. Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted March 20, 2020 Super User Posted March 20, 2020 These are still great for trolling for walleyes. Quote
Super User scaleface Posted March 20, 2020 Super User Posted March 20, 2020 I like to use them as a top-water twitch bait or reeled just under the surface . Quote
detroit1 Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Caught a lot of walleye many years back on a fly-in trip in Canada. The regular (smaller) size weighed 1/3 oz. I think... Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted March 20, 2020 Super User Posted March 20, 2020 I have 3 or 4 of those in the “antique” lure box. Quote
Super User WRB Posted March 20, 2020 Super User Posted March 20, 2020 Thin Fin cast like a patato chip, good lures! Tom 3 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 21, 2020 Global Moderator Posted March 21, 2020 I still have some and one of the Thin Fin shiners too. Tom's right, the Thin Fin is one of the worst casting lures I've ever used, but they do work well. Quote

I will have to give mine a toss this summer, assuming I can find them;) Quote
Super User GreenPig Posted March 21, 2020 Super User Posted March 21, 2020 Nope. I don't believe I've ever seen one in a store. Quote
Smells like fish Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 I've aquired several of those over the years via yard sale tackle boxes and lure lots on eBay. Sadly I've neglected them too but I'll try to remedy that soon! Quote
Mbirdsley Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 Those will Bring decent $$$$ from the southern Lake Michigan guys. They use them for trolling for coho, browns, and steel head. For some reason they like the originals and not after storm was bought out Quote
Super User Columbia Craw Posted March 22, 2020 Super User Posted March 22, 2020 I has a couple in the early eighties. Couldn't buy a trike with one. Quote
Super User scaleface Posted March 22, 2020 Super User Posted March 22, 2020 Its funny but when I was a bank fisherman , the Thin Fin was a top shelf lure. When I became a boat angler I havent caught anything with them . Dont even know if I still have one . Quote
