Museum Archive: Vintage Buck Perry Spoonplug, 1/2oz gold fishing spoon #24341

Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g), the stamped metal body of this American-made rarity features the distinct contoured profile synonymous with the Buck Perry name. The gold finish is accented by dark scale-like texturing and those characteristic oversized eye spots on the forward section. Measuring 3 1/4" (8cm), this particular Spoonplug, product code 24341, represents the foundational principles of "Spoonplugging"—a systematic approach to structure fishing and depth control pioneered by Perry himself. The hardware setup includes two belly-mounted single hooks and a rear treble, all showing signs of time that match its 5/5 condition rating. This lure was engineered specifically for precision trolling and casting to maintain a consistent depth, a hallmark of the manufacturer's commitment to technical angling.
