Museum Archive: Thomas Buoyant, 1/4oz Frog fishing spoon #10836

Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, this spoon features the distinctive 'Red Dot Frog' pattern known for its high visibility. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this specimen is identified by product code T102FRG (10836) and remains secured in its original yellow factory blister pack. The lure is unused, presenting as a clean addition for any collection, and holds a condition rating of 5/5. The paint scheme consists of a dark green and yellow mottled background that serves as a canvas for five large, circular red spots. This piece of tackle was manufactured by Thomas Spinning Lures, Inc. in Hawley, PA, and the original carding highlights its versatility for species like Trout, Salmon, and Pike. The hardware features a single treble hook attached to the spoon's tail. Detailed instructions on the reverse of the card suggest specific casting and retrieving techniques for both stream and lake environments, particularly emphasizing retrieves that allow the metal to work near bottom structures.
