A vibrant array of yellow, red, and green dots covers the deep black finish of this 1 1/2" (4cm) spoon. This classic Thomas Buoyant, weighing 3/16oz (5g), features a high-contrast design primarily utilized for casting or trolling in freshwater environments. The reverse side is finished in a solid, bright yellow, while a subtle orange accent defines the lower edge of the black-painted front. This American-made lure, identified by product code 1823, retains its original bronze-tone hardware, including a strong treble hook. The finish shows gentle signs of use with minor paint thinning on the edges, consistent with a vintage item rated at 4/5. Its distinctive profile and weight distribution have made it a recognizable piece of spinning tackle history for trout and panfish specialists.
