Museum Archive: Vintage Buck Perry Spoonplug, 1/2oz Fluorescent Yellow / Red fishing spoon #2900

Fluorescent yellow paint covers the stamped metal body of this classic specimen, accented by bold red dots across its curved surface. Known to collectors and serious trollers as the Buck Perry Spoonplug, this 1/2 oz (14 g) lure represents the core of Perry's technical "spoonplugging" method. The stamped design features a distinctive wide front that narrows toward the tail, measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length. Two oversized red and black eyes are painted on the leading edge, providing a striking visual contrast against the bright base color. This specific unit, listed under product code 2900, retains its original hardware including the sturdy belly and tail treble hooks. The finish is remarkably well-preserved, earning a condition rating of 5/5. Collectors will appreciate the crispness of the fluorescent yellow and red pattern, which was designed for high visibility in various water conditions. The metal plate construction allows for precise depth control when following bottom contours.
