A weight of 3/16oz (5 g) provides excellent casting distance for such a compact 1 1/2" (4 cm) profile. Carrying the product code 15513, this Thomas Buoyant features a classic red paint scheme accented by black, orange, and green dots. When inspected under ultraviolet light, the finish reveals glow properties where the red base becomes a bright, luminous pink. This specimen, made in the USA, is equipped with its original hardware, including a bronze-finished treble hook and a sturdy split ring. It is presented in a 4/5 condition, with the paint remaining vibrant and the metal body showing only light signs of handling. The high-contrast dot pattern is a staple of the Thomas Spinning Lures design, used on their stamped metal spoons for decades. Each dot is crisply applied, ensuring the pattern stays sharp across the entire surface.
