Hand-painted black spots over a lime-green back immediately catch the eye on this 1/2 oz (14 g) Thomas Buoyant spoon. This vintage 2 1/4" (6 cm) lure, carrying product code 6738, features the iconic Rainbow Trout pattern over a polished nickel base, complete with a soft pink lateral stripe. The reverse side of the metal is deeply stamped with 'THOMAS BUOYANT' and the T104 model code, indicating its specific design within the legendary lineup. Rated at a condition of 5/5, the piece is exceptionally well-preserved, with the original hardware and treble hook remaining intact. Its unique curved geometry is a hallmark of the brand's approach to casting and trolling lures, designed to maintain a stable profile in the water column. The nickel finish provides high visibility, contrasting with the detailed trout motif used for clear-water applications.
