Museum Archive: Thomas Buoyant, 3/16oz Black Trout fishing spoon #10660

Bold red, yellow, and green dots applied over a deep black enamel define the Black Trout pattern on this 1 1/2" (4 cm) spoon. This Thomas Buoyant, listed under product code T101B, weighs 3/16 oz (5 g) and remains a staple for anglers targeting trout, salmon, and walleye. Manufactured in the USA, the lure features a distinctively shaped metal body designed for casting or trolling in various water conditions. The hardware is secured via a split ring, paired with a sharp treble hook that remains in its original factory state. This specimen is unused, appearing just as it did when it left the Pennsylvania-based factory. The original card backing includes specific instructions for river and lake fishing, recommending a slow retrieve to ensure the lure achieves its intended motion.
