Museum Archive: Vintage Buck Perry spoonplug, 3/4oz Red / White fishing spoon #2762

Measuring 3 3/4" (9.5 cm) in total length, this metal body showcases the distinctive contours Buck Perry engineered for his system of structure fishing. This 3/4 oz (21 g) specimen represents the "science" of Spoonplugging, a methodology rooted in reaching specific depths through precise speed and depth control. The front section features two prominent black and white eye spots set against a red background, a signature aesthetic for this USA-based manufacturer. The paint shows some gentle wear along the edges and surface, revealing the metal substrate beneath, which is reflected in its 4/5 condition rating. It is equipped with two sturdy treble hooks, one positioned near the belly and another at the rear, attached via metal split rings. For collectors of the Spoonplugging philosophy, this model (Product Code 2762) in its Red and White finish remains a foundational tool for casting or trolling.
