Museum Archive: Vintage Buck Perry Spoonplug, 3/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #13800

Crafted with a high-shine Nickel finish, this all-metal lure is a foundational piece of Buck Perry’s legacy in structure fishing. Tipping the scales at 3/4oz (21g) and spanning 3 1/2" (9cm) in length, this specific Buck Perry Spoonplug (Product Code 13800) was engineered for precision depth control. The body showcases a distinct, curved metal plate design with an integrated diving lip that defines its silhouette. Two robust treble hooks are securely attached—one mid-belly and one at the tail—intended for heavy-duty trolling or casting sessions. While the surface shows some soft marks from its time in a tackle box, it maintains a 5/5 condition rating, preserving the integrity of its original USA manufacturing. The stamped metal construction reflects the scientific approach to "Spoonplugging" pioneered by Perry, where the lure functions as a tool for mapping underwater terrain.
