Sporting a Blue Trout finish with vibrant red and blue dots, this 3/16 oz (5 g) lure represents a classic piece of American tackle history. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, the spoon features a unique minnow-like shape stamped with a distinct bend to catch the light. This specific specimen carries the product code 10661 and is unused, preserved in its original yellow blister pack. Thomas Spinning Lures first patented this design in 1946, and its popularity among trout and salmon anglers stems from the jewelry-quality finish. The back of the packaging highlights its effectiveness for species like walleye and pike when retrieved at a moderately slow speed. Made in the U.S.A., the lure is rigged with a sturdy treble hook. A factory sticker on the reverse identifies the specific variant as item T101B-BB, confirming the silver and blue color palette.
