Museum Archive: Thomas Buoyant, 1/4oz Green / Red (Frog) fishing spoon #0740

Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this American-made Thomas Buoyant spoon is a classic staple for trout and multi-species anglers. The 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) body features the "Frog" pattern, characterized by a dark base with vivid yellow crackle markings and bright red circular accents. Rated in unused condition, the lure remains sealed in its original yellow carded packaging, which lists its effectiveness for species ranging from Lake Trout and Salmon to Pike and Bass. Labeled with product code 0740, the specimen includes a factory-set treble hook attached via a robust split ring. The stamped "MADE IN U.S.A." text on the lower corner of the carding confirms its origin and speaks to the long-standing production history of the Thomas Spinning Lures company. This specific color configuration, noted as T102 on the front of the blister pack, is designed for high visibility during casting or trolling sessions.
