Museum Archive: Thomas Cyclone, 1/3oz Trout fishing spoon #0735

Painted with a distinctive Rainbow Trout pattern, the surface of this spoon shows a deep green back topped with fine black spots and a vibrant pink lateral line over a silver belly. Weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g) and measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, this Thomas Cyclone (Product Code 0735) is a classic example of American tackle manufacturing. The embossed surface is designed for casting and trolling, specifically targeting species like trout, salmon, and walleye as noted on the vintage packaging. This specimen is unused, preserved in its original vibrant yellow blister pack. The hardware includes a sturdy, bronzed treble hook secured to the tail end by a split ring. As indicated by the 'Made in U.S.A.' mark on the card, this lure represents the long-standing tradition of Thomas Spinning Lures. The clear plastic bubble remains intact, protecting the reflective finish and clean paintwork of the metal body.
