Museum Archive: Vintage Thomas Double Spinn, 3/16oz spinning lure #15304

Twin teardrop blades finished in a striking two-tone gold and silver catch the light from any angle on this 15304 specimen. Weighing in at 3/16 oz (5 g), the Thomas Double Spinn features a classic inline construction that has been a staple in American tackle boxes for decades. A series of polished brass beads serves as the body, providing the necessary weight for casting or trolling, punctuated by a single translucent red bead near the top clevis for a point of contrast. Each blade is meticulously stamped with the Thomas name, common for these high-quality USA-made spinners. The overall length reaches 2 3/4" (7 cm) from the front tie-eye to the original treble hook. Rated at 5/5, the hardware is exceptionally clean and the wire remains perfectly straight. This specific design uses a tandem blade configuration to increase flash without adding excessive bulk to the profile. The gold-plated finish on the reverse of the blades provides a consistent warm reflection during the retrieve.
