STORM HOT ’N TOT

Storm Original Hot ’N Tot 2.5″ (10g) — Metal Lip Trolling Crankbait

The Storm Original Hot ’N Tot is a classic crankbait famous for its genuine metal lip and unpredictable, hunting wobble. That wide, side-to-side searching action helps the lure track and “break” like a wounded baitfish—one of the reasons it has stayed a go-to trolling bait for walleye for decades.

Best Uses
– Trolling open water to cover water fast and locate active fish
– Running along contour lines, breaks, and basin edges
– When you need an aggressive wobble to trigger reaction bites

How to Fish It (Practical Cadences)
1) Straight troll: keep speed steady so the bait maintains a consistent hunting wobble
2) Speed change trigger: briefly speed up, then return to your baseline—often triggers following fish
3) Turn bite: make gentle turns to change depth and angle; inside line slows and rises, outside line speeds up and dives
