Museum Archive: Vintage Thomas Cyclone, 1/4oz gold/red/white fishing spoon #22754

Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, this brass-toned spoon is a classic piece of American tackle history. The convex side features a deeply embossed scale pattern, accented by five small red dots and four white dots that offer high-contrast visual triggers. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), the Thomas Cyclone (Product Code 22754) is a versatile choice for casting or trolling, especially when targeting trout or panfish. On the reverse, the polished gold-colored surface bears the "THOMAS 1/4 S 5 5 CYCLONE" stamp, confirming its origin in the USA. The original bronze-finished treble hook remains sharp and securely attached via a sturdy split ring. With a condition rating of 5/5, the specimen shows excellent preservation of its gold, red, and white finish, with the stamped lettering remaining crisp and legible. The teardrop shape and specific curvature of the metal are designed to create a distinct flash under the water.
