Museum Archive: Vintage Buck Perry Spoonplug, 3/16oz White / Red / Silver Glitter fishing spoon #6984

Weighing 3/16 oz (5 g), the compact metal body of this lure showcases the specialized engineering of the Spoonplugging system developed in the USA. The finish on this specific specimen, cataloged under product code 6984, features a white base coat heavily speckled with silver glitter and finished with red highlights at both the head and tail. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), the design represents Buck Perry’s technical approach to structure fishing, which he famously documented as a science rather than just a hobby. The hardware consists of a sturdy rear treble hook and a forward split ring for line attachment, with the entire lure maintaining an excellent 5/5 condition rating. It is a functional piece of angling history intended for precise depth and speed control during casting or trolling operations.
