Museum Archive: Thomas Buoyant, 1/4oz Perch fishing spoon #24133

Weighted at 1/4 oz (7 g), this Thomas Buoyant spoon features a detailed Perch finish with dark vertical bars and a prominent red strike point near the nose. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, the specimen under product code 24133 is presented in its original vintage yellow blister pack and is unused. This design, originally patented in the USA in 1946, is renowned for its jewelry-quality finish and solid metal construction intended for casting or trolling. The lure is specifically designed for targeting trout, salmon, walleye, and pike, reflecting the high manufacturing standards of its American-made origins. All hardware, including the split ring and treble hook, remains in its original factory state, preserved within the protective packaging that lists various compatible game fish. The multi-tonal paint scheme over the gold-toned body is engineered to reflect light in a way that mimics a frantic baitfish during a slow-speed retrieve.
