Hand-stamped on the gold-toned underside, the 'THOMAS 1/6 oz BUOYANT' marking identifies this 1 1/2" (4cm) American classic. The frog-inspired finish—a combination of Green, Red, and Yellow—utilizes a dark green base accented by yellow crackle lines and bright red spots with yellow rings. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 1158, carries a weight of 3/16oz (5g), making it a reliable choice for distance casting in various freshwater settings. Attached via a sturdy split ring, the original treble hook remains intact. While the painted side remains quite vibrant, the metallic reverse side shows some light surface marks from its time in a tackle box, resulting in a well-maintained 4/5 condition rating. Collectors will find the crispness of the USA-origin stamping and the unique texture of the crackle paint application particularly notable.
