Museum Archive: Thomas Cyclone, 1/8oz Red Trout fishing spoon #9916

Red Trout patterning on this specimen features a bold red base accented with distinct black dots, a classic choice for mimicking small forage. Weighing 1/8 oz (4.3 g) with a length of 1 1/4" (3.2 cm), the Thomas Cyclone is a versatile tool for light tackle casting. This unused lure, designated by product code 9916, is preserved in its original yellow retail packaging, which highlights its effectiveness for trout, lake trout, salmon, and walleye. Stamped with "Made in U.S.A.," the spoon's metal construction reflects the manufacturing heritage of the Thomas brand. The hardware consists of a treble hook attached by a split ring, suitable for both fresh and light saltwater environments.
