Museum Archive: Vintage Buck Perry spoonplug, 3/4oz Red / White fishing spoon #1207

Red and white contrasting paint covers the solid metal frame of this 3/4oz (21g) Buck Perry Spoonplug, a design that serves as the foundation for the specialized art of "Spoonplugging." This 3 3/4" (9.5cm) specimen, bearing product code 1207, was manufactured in the USA and embodies Buck Perry’s scientific approach to structure fishing. The wide, rounded head is finished in a bold red with two distinct black eye spots featuring bright yellow pupils, while the main body tapers back into a clean white finish. Built for both casting and trolling, the lure is equipped with robust treble hooks designed to withstand the rigors of deep-water retrieval. This particular lure is in excellent condition, maintaining a 5/5 rating with its vibrant finish and intact hardware. The weight and unique shape are specifically engineered to provide the depth control and speed versatility that Perry’s methodical system requires for locating active fish schools.
