Stamped clearly into the polished silver-tone reverse side are the words "THOMAS BUOYANT," identifying the legacy of this 1 1/2" (4 cm) lure. This specific example, cataloged as Product Code 7226, carries the Blue Trout finish, a detailed pattern featuring a teal-to-gold gradient punctuated by distinct red and yellow spots. Weighing 3/16 oz (5 g), the spoon represents classic USA-made tackle construction. The hardware is comprised of a bronze-finished treble hook and a sturdy metal split ring. Maintaining a condition rating of 5/5, the paint remains exceptionally bright, and the stamped technical details on the metal back are perfectly legible. A thin line of red paint traces the upper edge of the spoon, providing a sharp contrast against the blue and green hues of the main body.
