Q&A
Designed to imitate many baitfish including shad, shiners and herring, STORM® Original ThinFin® crankbait runs shallow and produces an erratic, darting action. The deep body, flat sides and detailed scale pattern combine to create a pronounced flash that's proven to provoke strikes from bass, walleye and other gamefish.

Very good shallow runnerHave owned Thin Fins for years and the newer colors offered by Bass Pro are improvements over older colors. Have caught numerous bass in the shallows (1-4 ft.) on these baits which often work better than other crank baits and I plan to always have Thin Fins in my tackle bag as an option.

Versatile and Underappreciated lureI am always surprised that these are not more popular. Apparently they are popular in Canada, but hardly anyone in the US uses them. While they are similar to other flat sided crankbaits, they are definitely unique. The body shape of a ThinFin (fat in the middle, narrow at the top and bottom), seems to have a more realistic look, action, and vibration. They look just like shad, herring, alewives, shiners, bluegill, or other important baitfish. In addition, Thinfins are one of the most versatile cranks I have ever seen. You can twitch or jerk them, crank them, burn them, stop and go, troll them at all speeds and depths. And they catch bass, walleye, pike, even a surprising number of catfish. Just yesterday I caught a 19" channel cat trolling an older model black/silver/red belly version.
I just wish that:
A)They had a few more colors, like some of the older colors, or some of the Hot n Tot & Smash Shad colors
B)They hadn't discontinued the deep Thinfin, and
C) They made a larger size for musky (or striper and saltwater) fishing. I managed to get ahold of a few of the old 3.5" ones, but they're a little smaller than I would like, plus, if I lose them, they only get harder to replace.
Also, BPS needs to carry the red ones.

Storm ThinFin LuresI am in love with these thinfin plugs! Caught my first 6 pound bass (see photo) with an old sinker model two weeks before I ordered these three floating crank baits. Love the way the thinfin's erratic action mimics an injured shad. The colors are great! They are a lethal weapon for catching otherwise disinterested bass. Try one. You won't regret it.

real fish catcherBeen using Storm Thin Fins for over forty years and they always produce without having to finesse them. Work great right out of the package every time and even with rough use, they don't have to be retuned. Have a number of them with the paint and chrome finish just about gone and they still work.

Great LureThis is a great lure! Very productive on white bass and crappie. Just need to echo other reviewers. BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL COLORS!!! I'm down to my last two gizzard shad (black and silver) they are over 30 years old!

Storm ThinFinGreat twitch bait for shollow water. Bass love them. Hard to cast in the wind but worth the effort.
COLORS? Which ones produce when shad are schooling?
Fishing for Whites, Hybrids and LM during the FALL - early and late. Looking for advice on size and color to purchase a couple to try! Thank you JAY

Shad are notoriously fickle and will sometimes bite the heck out of a one particular color, and then, without warning, they’ll be onto a new one. Experimentation is the key. If you can see fish but aren’t getting bit, change jig colors frequently until you find the one the fish want at that particular moment. And, just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, be ready to switch again…
The most fundamental rule is to fish brightly colored baits in dingy or muddy water and light, subtle colors in clear water. The logic here is that a bass' visibility is hampered by silt, and colors like chartreuse, yellow and orange are easier to see than bone, pumpkinseed and smoke. On the other hand, when water is clear and the fish can get an unobstructed look at the bait, it's best to go with softer, more natural colors.

Does anyone know if there are plans
to add the sinking Thinfin to the product line? It has been quite a while since they were produced.
Asked by: BeeTree
Not sure if they are ever going to make them again...however, you can use the "weighted dots or strips" to make them sink at desired rate.

is this as good of an all-round bass lure as the Rapala DT04? (excluding the fact that Rapala lures tend to have weak bills)
the DT Series seem to have especially weak bills
