Museum Archive: Vintage Buck Perry Spoonplug, 1/4oz White / Red fishing spoon #7800

White and red paint covers the curved metal body of this 2 1/4" (5.5cm) lure, an essential tool for the systematic approach to structure fishing. Weighing 1/4oz (7g), this Buck Perry Spoonplug, carrying product code 7800, features the classic red-headed pattern with a white body accented by a singular red dot on the flank. The head is detailed with prominent black eyes containing yellow centers, and the lure is equipped with dual treble hooks attached via sturdy split rings. In terms of condition, it is a 4/5, displaying light paint wear along the edges and minor surface marks that reflect its history. This particular specimen highlights the construction techniques used by Buck Perry, who revolutionized angling with his 'Spoonplugging' philosophy. The line tie is positioned on the forward red section, intended for precise depth control during trolling or casting along bottom contours.
