Museum Archive: Vintage Buck Perry Spoonplug, 1/3oz fishing spoon #11300

A bold red face with painted "owl eyes" characterizes this vintage Spoonplug, immediately catching the eye of any depth-control specialist. The body transitions from the solid red head into a white section before moving into a distinct, glitter-textured gold finish across the main blade. This specimen weighs in at 1/3oz (10g) and measures 2 1/2" (6.5cm) in length. Associated with Buck Perry, the pioneer of structure fishing, this model (Product Code: 11300) represents the technical core of his "spoonplugging" method, where the lure functions as a tool for mapping contours at specific speeds. It is equipped with two sets of treble hooks: one belly-mounted and one at the tail, both showing the clean, robust hardware typical of these USA-made metal lures. The finish is preserved in 5/5 condition, maintaining the integrity of the paint and the signature coarse texture on the rear portion of the blade.
