Museum Archive: Vintage Buck Perry Spoonplug, 1/3oz Silver fishing spoon #7600

Silver plating covers the stamped metal body of this 1/3 oz (10 g) Spoonplug, highlighting its unique hydro-dynamic design. Carrying the product code 7600, this 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) model represents the foundational "Spoonplugging" science developed by Buck Perry himself. The hardware consists of sturdy treble hooks secured to the underside and tail, designed to stay pinned during technical trolling or deep casting sessions. As a piece of USA fishing history, it shows a gentle 4/5 condition rating, with light marks on the silver surface that reflect its journey through a collector's tackle box. The line tie is positioned precisely to ensure the lure reaches its designated depth range, a critical component of Perry's systematic approach to mapping underwater structures. This specimen remains a functional example of the mid-sized lures used to master the art of depth control and speed.
