Museum Archive: Vintage Buck Perry spoonplug, 3/4oz White / Green / Red fishing spoon #7152

Tipping the scales at 3/4 oz (21 g), this Buck Perry Spoonplug represents a foundational tool in the history of structure fishing. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm), the metal body features a vibrant green finish on the upper surface that blends into a gold honeycomb scale pattern over a clean white base. This specimen, identified by product code 7152, is in excellent 5/5 condition, retaining its high-contrast "owl-eye" graphics and the signature red heart-shaped strike indicator on the belly. Buck Perry developed these lures in the USA as part of a systematic approach to depth control, a philosophy detailed in his seminal works on Spoonplugging. The lure is equipped with two sharp treble hooks and heavy-duty hardware. The transition from the deep green nose to the textured scale sides remains sharp and well-defined.
