Museum Archive: Thomas Buoyant, 3/16oz Red Trout fishing spoon #10194

Weighing 3/16 oz (5g), the Red Trout finish on this metal spoon features a textured scale pattern over a copper-toned base, highlighted by distinct red, black, and yellow markings. This 1 1/2" (4cm) American-made lure carries product code 10194 and is a quintessential example of the Thomas Buoyant design. Its unique, offset body shape is engineered specifically for casting and trolling applications where a distinct side-to-side motion is required. This specimen is unused, appearing in its original yellow blister pack with a condition rating of 6. The packaging notes its effectiveness for various species including Walleye, Pike, and Bass, though it remains a legendary choice among trout enthusiasts. The hardware consists of a single split ring and a sharp treble hook, both showing the clean finish expected of a well-preserved vintage item.
