2017 NORCAL TROUT ANGLERS CHALLENGE TOUR SEASON
ENJOYS ROBUST SPONSOR SUPPORT
Thomas Buoyant Spoons
Produce Big Trout
he Thomas Buoyant is
T
unsurpassed as a deadly trout
and salmon lure!
First issued a U.S. patent in 1946,
the Buoyant is an erratic-action
wobbler that imitates the darting
motion of a frantic, fleeing baitfish.
This action, combined with jewelry-
quality finishes, creates a spoon that
entices even the wariest of trout or
salmon, and many other types of
game fish, into striking.
The largest ⅝ oz. size is especially
deadly on big trout!
It is important to use a moderately
slow retrieve or troll speed for the
Buoyant to achieve its most effective
action. An occasional sharp twitch
of the rod tip can really draw hard
strikes! Cast or trolled, deep or
shallow, the Thomas Buoyant has
been a favorite of successful anglers
for over sixty-five years! Made in the
U.S.A.

and the entire line of Thomas lures,
