Golden hues paired with a vivid red trout pattern define the aesthetic of this vintage Thomas Buoyant spoon. Carrying product code 5820, the lure measures exactly 1 1/2" (4cm) and is weighted at 3/16oz (5g). The finish is a detailed Golden Rainbow Red Trout, characterized by a bold red upper half accented with black dots and a textured golden lower half with yellow spots. The hardware is remarkably clean, featuring the original treble hook and split ring assembly. On the reverse, the brass-colored surface is deeply stamped with 'THOMAS', 'T101', 'BUOYANT', and a '1/6 oz' weight marking, which is a common variation found in these hand-stamped vintage pieces. The condition is a solid 5/5, showing preserved paint and clear, legible typography. Produced by the Thomas Spinning Lure Co. in the USA, the body features a subtle scale-like pattern etched into the metal to enhance visibility in the water column. A small eye detail with a red center is positioned near the line tie, completing the visual profile of this classic casting hardware.
