A textured honeycomb pattern defines the face of this 1/4oz (7g) lure, providing a multi-faceted surface for the vibrant 'Copper Trout' finish. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length, the spoon's unique body shape is stamped on the copper reverse with the 'THOMAS T102 BUOYANT 1/4 OZ' designation. The color palette is particularly striking, blending a deep red tail into a lighter pink and gold midsection, punctuated by a series of yellow, red, and black dots. Collectors will recognize this as Product Code 5174, a classic American-made design from the USA that has remained a staple for trout and panfish anglers for decades. The hardware is in excellent shape, featuring a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring at the base. Given its 5/5 condition, the finish remains bright and the markings are sharp and legible. The tapered profile makes it well-suited for both casting in moving water and light trolling. A single line-tie hole is cleanly punched at the top of the spoon's head.
