Stamped clearly into the underside of the gold-plated metal is the "T101" designation, a specific identifier for this 3/16 oz (5 g) Thomas Buoyant lure. The finish on this specimen is the highly sought-after Golden Trout pattern, displaying an array of red, yellow, and black dots over a polished gold surface. Sized at 1 1/2" (4 cm), the spoon features unique notched markings along the lower edge and a distinct eye detail on the leading end. This American-made lure, identified by product code 5821, is equipped with a high-quality treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring. The 5/5 condition is evident in the preserved clarity of the factory stampings and the integrity of the painted accents. Intended primarily for casting in freshwater environments, the heavy-gauge metal provides significant density relative to its size.
