Museum Archive: Vintage Thomas Buoyant, 1/4oz Red Trout fishing spoon #14401

Hammered metal and a distinctive Red Trout pattern give product code 14401 its classic American profile. This 1/4 oz (7g) spoon measures 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) and features a textured surface that reflects light at multiple angles during a steady retrieve. The color scheme is a vivid gradient, transitioning from a deep red-orange top to a bright golden belly, punctuated by a series of five black dots over five chartreuse spots. On the reverse side, the solid brass is deeply stamped with the Thomas brand name, the 1/4 oz weight, and the T102 model designation. Manufactured in the USA, this specimen is in unused condition, earning a rating of 5/5. The hardware is comprised of robust split rings and a bronze-finished treble hook, all showing no signs of age or wear. The distinct shape of the Buoyant is designed specifically to mimic the swimming motion of a baitfish when cast or trolled in various water conditions.
