Museum Archive: Vintage Buck Perry spoonplug, 1/3oz Nickel fishing spoon #15200

Nickel plating gleams across the entirety of this 1/3oz (10g) metal body, a signature finish for Buck Perry’s system-fishing tools. Spanning 2 1/2" (6.5cm) in length, the spoon-like design is engineered for precise depth control, a hallmark of the Spoonplugging method developed in the USA. This specific specimen, carrying product code 15200, features a high-polished nickel color that reflects light effectively throughout the water column. The hardware consists of two treble hooks—one belly-mounted and one at the tail—both appearing sharp and securely fastened to the stamped metal frame. Reflected in its 5/5 condition rating, the exterior is smooth with a mirror-like quality, exhibiting almost no signs of storage or handling. The forward eyelet is cleanly formed and sits flush against the metal, intended for a direct connection when trolling or casting to find specific bottom structures.
