Museum Archive: Vintage Buck Perry Spoonplug, 3/16oz Nickel fishing spoon #10500

Finished in a polished nickel, this 3/16 oz (5 g) metal lure represents a significant piece of angling history designed by Buck Perry. The Spoonplug was developed as part of a comprehensive structure fishing system, and this 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) model allows for controlled presentation at specific depths during casting or trolling. Identification as product code 10500 is confirmed by its distinct stamped profile and dual-hole configuration for line attachment. The hardware consists of a sharp treble hook attached via a robust split ring at the rear. Maintaining its original luster, the specimen sits at a 5/5 condition rating with clean, reflective surfaces. This USA-sourced piece demonstrates the utilitarian design principles Perry championed to help anglers systematically map underwater structures.
