Museum Archive: Vintage Buck Perry Spoonplug, 1/8oz Yellow / Glitter fishing spoon #2781

Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, this metal lure demonstrates the specialized design philosophy developed by Buck Perry for his influential structure fishing system. This particular Spoonplug, identified by product code 2781, weighs a light 1/8 oz (4 g) and features a Yellow / Glitter finish with orange-tinted accents at the nose and tail. Buck Perry’s legacy as the father of modern structure fishing is built into the unique shape of this tool, which was engineered to reach and maintain precise depths. The specimen is in 4/5 condition, displaying some honest surface wear and minor paint chips that speak to its age while the original coloration remains bright. A single treble hook is joined by a split ring at the rear, following the standard configuration for this size. The top-mounted line tie is clear of debris, ready to be rigged for a variety of freshwater applications.
