Museum Archive: Buck Perry Spoonplug, Rainbow, 1/2 oz (14 g), Depth Control, #24551

Rainbow finishes on these stamped metal lures provide a multi-tonal flash that remains effective across various water clarities. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), this specific Buck Perry Spoonplug is designed for precise depth maintenance during both trolling and casting retrieves. The 3 1/4" (8 cm) body utilizes a wide, flat profile to track consistently along bottom structures. Buck Perry developed these lures as technical tools for his structured fishing system, focusing on depth and speed control rather than simple visual appeal. Carrying product code 24551, this specimen shows a clean surface with a condition rating of 5/5. The hardware is positioned to maintain a nose-down orientation, ensuring the lure reaches and stays at its target depth during the retrieve.
