Glittering silver accents run along the ridges of this 1/4oz (7g) Buck Perry Spoonplug, contrasting against its primary yellow and red hues. Carrying the product code 6400, the lure measures 2 1/4" (5.5cm) and represents a historical piece of the American-born spoonplugging method. The prominent orange-red head is finished with iconic oversized black and yellow eyes, which served as a primary visual trigger in Buck Perry's fishing system. Some thinning of the silver glitter is visible on the raised edges, and there are small instances of paint loss near the nose and along the rim, though the main body colors remain vibrant, warranting a 3.5/5 condition rating. Its stamped metal construction and through-wire assembly reflect the durable manufacturing standards of USA-made tackle from that era. Two treble hooks are secured to the underside and tail, showing a light oxidation consistent with age.
