Gold plating covers the stamped metal body of this 1/3 oz (10 g) lure, a design rooted in Buck Perry’s meticulous approach to structure fishing. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm), the specimen reflects the Spoonplugging methodology, which treated lure selection as a precise science rather than guesswork. This specific item, identified by product code 16479, shows the classic teardrop-style hardware and a sturdy treble hook at the tail. Manufactured in the USA, the construction utilizes a rigid metal plate designed to maintain its profile at specific speeds. The gold finish remains bright, earning a condition rating of 4/5, with only minor signs of handling visible on the surface. Collectors often look for these original Buck Perry pieces because they represent the transition toward modern depth-control techniques. The line tie is securely fastened to the top plane, ensuring the lure tracks as intended during trolling or casting.
