Museum Archive: Vintage Other Buck Perry spoonplug UV, 1/3oz Fluorescent Yellow / Red #14400

Fluorescent Yellow paint with distinct Red polka dots gives this metal Spoonplug a striking visual profile. Under ultraviolet light, the finish reveals a strong glow, a feature that aligns with Buck Perry’s scientific approach to lure visibility across varying light conditions. Identified by product code 14400, this specimen measures 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) and weighs 1/3 oz (10 g). The Spoonplug design was pioneered by Buck Perry as the cornerstone of his "Spoonplugging" system, which focused on the study of structure and water depth rather than just casting. Two large orange and black eyes are positioned prominently near the line tie, while the stamped metal body features a belly treble and a trailing treble hook. The hardware remains in excellent shape and the paint finish is remarkably clean, warranting a condition rating of 5/5.
