A vibrant Red and Gold gradient covers the embossed face of this 3/16oz (5g) spoon, punctuated by dark and yellow spots to mimic a small trout. This 1 1/2" (4cm) specimen, identified as product code 16280, retains the high-quality jewelry plating that Thomas lures have been famous for since their 1946 patent. On the reverse, the gold-tone surface is cleanly stamped with the manufacturer mark, reflecting the durable construction of vintage American-made tackle. The hardware is remarkably well-preserved, featuring a robust split ring and a sharp treble hook, contributing to its 5/5 condition rating. Intended for casting or trolling for trout, salmon, or pike, the body features a textured scale pattern that catches light effectively.
