Museum Archive: Vintage Buck Perry Spoonplug, 1/3oz Frog (Yellow / Green) fishing spoon #9400

A scale-textured finish on the upper yellow flanks defines this Buck Perry Spoonplug, a quintessential example of mid-century American angling engineering. Weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g) and measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length, the stamped metal body transitions from vibrant yellow into a deep green spine. Notice the distinct black-and-yellow eye markings near the nose that characterize the "face" of this specific design. On the underside, the bright yellow belly carries the original hardware, including a belly-mounted double hook and a trailing treble at the rear. Developed by Buck Perry as a cornerstone of his technical "spoonpluging" system, the lure is constructed for specialized casting and trolling techniques. This specimen earns a 5/5 condition rating, showing a well-preserved finish and the original identification sticker with Product Code 9400 still clearly intact on the belly.
