Nickel plating provides a high-visibility reflection on this 2 1/2" (6.5cm) metal frame, a hallmark of Buck Perry’s innovative approach to structure fishing. Cataloged under product code 20800, this 1/3oz (10g) Spoonplug represents the scientific philosophy Perry outlined in his groundbreaking texts, focusing on the relationship between speed and depth. The specimen is in 4/5 condition, showcasing a clean, polished finish and robust treble hooks typical of vintage USA manufacturing. Its unique, wing-like side profile and shovel-nose head were specifically designed to facilitate accurate trolling and casting maneuvers.
