Museum Archive: Vintage Thomas Fighting fish, 1/4oz Gold / Red fishing spoon #5328

Gold and red hues blend across the embossed scale pattern of the 1 1/2" (4 cm) body. This Thomas Fighting Fish, identified by product code 5328, features a specialized fish-shaped profile with raised dorsal and pectoral fins stamped directly into the metal. The 1/4 oz (7 g) weight provides the necessary density for effective casting into targeted areas. On the reverse side, the polished gold surface is clearly marked with the manufacturer name, model name, and the T109 designation. A bronze-finished treble hook is connected to the tail via a split ring, maintaining a classic hardware setup for this USA-made lure. Rated at 5/5, the condition of the specimen is excellent, showing a bright, unclouded finish and perfectly legible stamped text.
