Museum Archive: Vintage Thomas Buoyant, 1/4oz Brown Trout fishing spoon #10329

A classic Brown Trout finish defines this specimen, featuring a gold-toned body accented with a dark gradient back and distinct red and black spots. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g) and measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm), this Thomas Buoyant spoon is a staple for anglers targeting lake trout, salmon, and walleye. The lure is identified by product code 10329 and remains unused in its original vintage yellow carded packaging. Manufactured by Thomas Spinning Lures, Inc. in Hawley, PA, the design includes a stamped brand name on the reverse side. The packaging provides specific instructions for river fishing, recommending a moderately slow retrieve to allow the lure to flutter through pools and cross-currents. This American-made lure is equipped with its original split ring and treble hook hardware, perfectly preserved since its production.
