Museum Archive: Vintage Thomas Buoyant, 3/16oz Chartreuse / White fishing spoon #14380

Painted in a vibrant Chartreuse / White pattern, this 3/16 oz (5 g) spoon features a distinctive arrangement of green, black, and red dots across its curved face. Measuring exactly 1 1/2" (4 cm), the Thomas Buoyant is a classic American-made lure, with its origin and brand name stamped clearly into the metal on the reverse side. The finish on this specific specimen remains in excellent 5/5 condition, showing a very well-preserved surface and vibrant pigment. Anglers typically favor this design for casting in streams or lakes where a smaller, flashy profile is needed to trigger a strike. The hardware is comprised of sturdy split rings and a dark-finished treble hook, all categorized under Product Code 14380. Deep stamping on the back of the metal body confirms its manufacture by Thomas in the USA.
