Museum Archive: Vintage Buck Perry Spoonplug, 1/4oz Green / White / Gold / Red fishing spoon #5670

Gold-stenciled scales overlap a green-painted back on this Buck Perry Spoonplug, identified by product code 5670. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, the lure features a distinctive broad, flat metal body designed for technical structure fishing. The underside transitions into a clean white belly, accented with a vibrant red flash near the forward treble hook. Buck Perry, the inventor who pioneered the "Spoonplugging" system, emphasized these specific color patterns as a science for mapping underwater terrain. Weighing 1/4oz (7g), the stamped construction provides the density required for the systematic depth control Perry famously documented in his literature. This specimen is rated 5/5, showing a well-preserved finish with clear yellow-and-black eyes and secure hardware.
