Measuring exactly 2 1/4 inches (5.5 cm) in length, this metal lure showcases a high-contrast Black / White / Red color scheme developed for Buck Perry's systematic approach to structure fishing. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 5298, represents the specialized hardware used in the 'Spoonplugging' technique, a methodology documented extensively by the manufacturer to help anglers map underwater terrain. The lure features a weighted metal body of 1/4 oz (7 g) with distinct painted 'goggle' eyes on the dark forward section and a prominent red strike-point spot on the side. Two silver-finish treble hooks are mounted to the belly and tail, secured by original-style hardware. Rated at a 4/5 for condition, the paint and stampings are well-preserved, showing only minor signs of its age since its production in the USA.
