Museum Archive: Buck Perry Spoonplug 250, 1/3oz Nickel fishing spoon #7700

Finished in a reflective Nickel coating, this vintage 250 series specimen highlights the technical design characteristic of Buck Perry’s "Spoonplugging" lures. Weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), the Buck Perry Spoonplug 250 is an unused example of the depth-control tools designed for systematic structure fishing. The lure, identified by product code 7700, measures 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) and remains factory-sealed in its original Buck’s Baits packaging from Hickory, N.C. The backing card features the distinct "The Spoonplug" branding and original patent information. Designed for precise bottom contact, the stamped metal body and hardware are engineered for consistency when trolling or casting. This specific lure maintains its original factory luster, secured within the clear plastic blister over the illustrated blue card.
