Museum Archive: Vintage Thomas Buoyant UV, 1/2oz Red Trout UV Glow in UV light, Fluorescent fishing spoon #4733

Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g), this classic spoon features a distinctive offset shape that has been a hallmark of American craftsmanship for generations. The Red Trout UV finish on this Thomas Buoyant specimen, identified by product code 4733, consists of a vibrant fluorescent red base decorated with hand-painted yellow, black, and green dots. Flipping the 2 1/4" (6cm) lure over reveals a clean silver metallic back stamped with the manufacturer's name, weight, and USA origin. This specific model is designed with UV-reactive properties to increase visibility in deeper water columns or overcast conditions. The construction is solid brass, providing a substantial feel and weight-to-size ratio that makes it a reliable choice for distance casting or steady trolling. In 5/5 condition, the finish and hardware appear remarkably well-preserved. It comes equipped with a single metal split ring and a factory treble hook, ready for the water or a collector's display.
