Museum Archive: Vintage Buck Perry spoonplug, 1/2oz Brass fishing spoon #2589

Brass construction and a polished finish define this specific model, which measures 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this Buck Perry Spoonplug (Product Code: 2589) represents the core of the "spoonplugging" methodology developed by Buck Perry in the USA. The stamped metal body, featuring its signature contoured shape, remains in a condition of 5/5 with a bright, reflective surface across the entire lure. Equipped with sturdy treble hooks, the hardware is securely attached via the integrated line ties typical of Perry’s design for precise depth control during trolling or casting. This particular brass specimen showcases the classic utility that Perry emphasized in his educational materials about structure fishing. The underside reveals the clean, stamped lettering and the characteristic shape that distinguishes the genuine article from later imitations.
