Museum Archive: Thomas Buoyant , 1/4oz fishing spoon #14625

A vibrant Perch pattern, characterized by dark vertical stripes against a gold-toned body and a bright red eye, defines the finish of this Thomas Buoyant spoon. This specimen, carrying product code 14625, remains in its original yellow card packaging, preserving its jewelry-quality coating in unused condition. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, the lure is constructed with a distinctive offset bend in the metal to create movement while casting or trolling. While the vintage card suggests effectiveness for species ranging from lake trout to walleye, the 1/4 oz (7 g) weight makes it a versatile choice for various freshwater environments. Manufactured in the USA, the lure comes rigged with a single split ring and a treble hook. The back of the packaging provides specific tactical advice, recommending a slow retrieve or allowing the spoon to flutter near the bottom in stream currents to attract trout and salmon.
