Museum Archive: Vintage Thomas Buoyant UV, 1/4oz Red Trout UV Glow in UV light, Fluorescent fishing spoon #5393

Stamped clearly into the silver-finished concave side is the classic "THOMAS BUOYANT MADE IN USA" mark, confirming the American heritage of this piece. Featuring a 1 3/4" (4.5cm) profile, this specimen weighs in at a versatile 1/4oz (7g), making it a substantial option for casting on light tackle. The finish is the vibrant Red Trout UV Glow pattern, a bold fluorescent orange-red base decorated with an array of green, black, and yellow dots. Carrying the product code 5393, the lure features specialized paint that reacts to UV light to help visibility in low-light environments. The hardware includes the original bronze-toned treble hook secured by a split ring at the flared tail end. Looking at the preservation, it sits at a condition rating of 5/5 with a smooth, glossy finish across the metal body.
