Museum Archive: Vintage Buck Perry Spoonplug, 1/3oz Yellow / Red fishing spoon #7200

Yellow and red hues cover the contoured metal body of this specimen, which is accented by a textured glitter finish across its upper surface. Weighed at 1/3oz (10g) and measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm), this Buck Perry Spoonplug is a classic example of the system-based lures developed by the father of structure fishing himself. Carrying the product code 7200, it features signature large, circular eyes with black pupils set against a vibrant red nose. The hardware includes two belly treble hooks and a single treble at the rear, all secured firmly to the frame. This lure represents the specific "Spoonplugging" philosophy where depth control and speed are paramount, allowing the angler to map bottom structures effectively during trolling or casting. The finish remains in 5/5 condition, showing that the paint and glitter are still crisp and the metal components are bright. Made in the USA, the design relies on its weighted metal architecture and wide profile to reach specific depths. Each eye is detailed with a concentric light ring, giving the lure a focused look as it moves along the lake floor.
