Museum Archive: Vintage Buck Perry spoonplug, 1/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #11500

A weight of 1/4oz (7g) makes this specific Buck Perry spoonplug an ideal tool for targeting game fish at precise depths. Finished in a bright, reflective Nickel, the metallic body is designed to catch light even in deeper water. This 2 1/4" (5.5cm) specimen carries the 11500 product code and represents the foundational principles of "Spoonplugging" established by Buck Perry in the USA. The construction features a distinctive wide, shovel-like head section transitioning into a narrower rear, where a sturdy treble hook is mounted. A second belly treble hook is positioned halfway down the frame, secured directly to the rigid metal structure. This particular lure remains in 5/5 condition, showing a high-luster surface and sharp, original hardware. The philosophy behind this design isn't just about the lure itself, but about the systematic approach to structure fishing that Perry pioneered. The line tie is positioned on the upper curve of the head, ensuring the lure maintains its intended orientation during casting or trolling.
