Museum Archive: Vintage Thomas Buoyant, 3/16oz Black Trout / Yellow fishing spoon #5392

Boldly painted in the "Black Trout" pattern, the spoon's face features distinct green, orange, and yellow dots over a dark base. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length and weighing in at 3/16 oz (5 g), this particular specimen, cataloged under product code 5392, is in excellent shape, warranting a 5/5 condition rating. Turning the lure over reveals a vibrant yellow-coated back clearly stamped with the "THOMAS T-101 BUOYANT" identifier. The original bronze-finish treble hook is securely attached via a sturdy split ring to the tail end. Produced in the USA, this classic design includes the signature notched edges intended to provide a unique profile for casting or trolling in freshwater environments. A small circular eyelet is pre-drilled at the nose for easy line or swivel attachment.
