Tipping the scales at exactly 1/4 oz (7 g), this classic spoon features a distinct Perch pattern with dark vertical bars over a gold-tone finish. Identified by product code 17154, the lure remains in its original yellow card packaging, signifying its unused condition. This specific specimen measures 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length and carries the stamped Thomas logo on the reverse side of the metal blade. First patented in the USA in 1946, the design utilizes jewelry-quality plating to reflect light under various water conditions. The manufacturer suggests a moderately slow retrieve or trolling speed to mimic the frantic movement of fleeing baitfish. For optimal performance, the instructions recommend attachment via a Duolock snap or a loop knot. The packaging specifies trout, salmon, and pike among its intended targets, noting its production by Thomas Spinning Lures, Inc. in Hawley, PA.
