A vibrant array of red and yellow spots over a silver-blue finish defines this classic spoon, which arrives in its original factory blister pack. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) and weighing 1/6 oz (4.7 g), the specimen is cataloged under product code T101B-SB (DB 13736). The Thomas Spinning Lures company of Hawley, PA, has produced the Buoyant since its patent in 1946, utilizing a jewelry-grade plating that provides a high-quality shine. The stamped scale pattern on the body and the sharp treble hook are hallmarks of the American-made craftsmanship found in mid-century tackle. This specimen is unused, appearing in the same condition as when it first left the Pennsylvania factory. The heavy-duty construction provides the necessary mass for long-distance casting when targeting trout, salmon, or larger panfish.
