Museum Archive: Vintage Thomas EEL, 1/8oz Gold fishing spoon #15254

Engraved on the reverse side is the R323 model designation alongside the iconic Thomas eagle logo, marking this 1/8 oz (4 g) spoon as a genuine piece of USA-made tackle history. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), the gold-toned body features a deeply stamped "EEL" script intertwined with a serpent-like graphic on the front face. Just above the line tie hole, two distinct blue dots serve as striking eyes, providing a focal point against the bright metallic finish. The hardware includes a sturdy split ring and a sharp, dark-finished treble hook, both in excellent condition. This specimen maintains a 5/5 rating, showing the clean, reflective surfaces expected of a well-preserved collector's piece. Designed for casting or trolling, the Thomas EEL's slender profile and stamped brass construction make it a quintessential tool for trout and panfish anglers, identified by product code 15254.
