Glistening copper plating serves as the foundation for the Golden Trout finish on this T102 model, featuring distinctive red, yellow, and black spots across its surface. Stamped clearly on the reverse side are the manufacturer details 'THOMAS BUOYANT' and the 1/4 oz (7 g) weight, identifying it as a genuine USA-made piece of tackle. This specimen, carrying product code 7228, measures exactly 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length and is in superb 5/5 condition, showing no signs of use on the polished metal or the original treble hook. The construction includes a notched 'gill' area near the tail and a curved profile that has made this design a staple for trout and salmon anglers for decades. Attached via a sturdy split ring, the hardware remains bright and free of any oxidation. The small eyelet at the front is precisely drilled, ready for a snap or direct line tie for casting into moving water.
