Vintage Buck Perry Spoonplug, 3/4oz Pink fishing spoon #22598

Weighing 3/4 oz (21 g), this heavy-duty metal lure reflects the foundational principles of structure fishing popularized by its creator. The 3 1/2" (9 cm) body carries a vibrant pink finish—which appears as a deep, bold red in this instance—accented by large black spots distributed across the curved surface. Identified by product code 22598, the lure showcases the specialized shape intended for precise depth control. Buck Perry designed the Spoonplug not just as a lure, but as a mechanical tool to map the bottom, and this USA-made specimen retains its original structural integrity. The hardware consists of a belly-mounted treble and a rear-mounted hook, both showing the slight aging expected of a well-maintained vintage piece. With a condition rating of 4/5, there are minor paint chips along the edges and some surface marks that testify to its history on the water. The metal construction is sturdy, featuring the signature stamped curvature and split-ring attachments typical of mid-century American tackle production.
