Museum Archive: Thomas Buoyant, 1/4oz Perch fishing spoon #24095

Perch patterning featuring distinct black vertical bars and a striking red eye detail makes this specific specimen stand out on its vintage yellow card. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g) and measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), this American-made spoon carries the product code 24095 and remains a staple for trout, salmon, and pike anglers. The spoon’s design is a direct descendant of the original 1946 patent, featuring a jewel-quality finish intended to replicate the appearance of a fleeing baitfish. Presented in its original packaging, the item is unused and retains its factory-fresh appearance with bright hardware and crisp paint. Historically, Thomas recommended a slow retrieve or trolling speed to ensure the lure effectively mimics the swift movement of prey. The carding displays the classic Thomas Buoyant branding and highlights its versatility for species ranging from walleye to bass.
