A high-polish Copper finish defines this 1/2oz (14g) metal lure, a cornerstone of the spoonplugging methodology developed by Buck Perry in the USA. Measuring 3 1/4" (8cm) in length, this specimen represents a specific weight class designed for precise depth control, which Perry famously treated as a technical science rather than luck. The solid metal body features a distinct downward-sloping lip integrated into the head, coupled with two sets of silver-tone treble hooks. Labeled under product code 6828, the stamping and curves of this piece remain sharp and well-defined. Rated 5/5, the surface is clean and maintains its original metallic luster across the entire curved profile. Perry's approach was built around mapping underwater structures, making this tool essential for trolling at specific, repeatable depths to find active fish.
