Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length, the stamped metal body of this yellow Spoonplug represents a cornerstone of American fishing history. Weighing 1/3 oz (10g), the lure features a striking UV finish that glows intensely in the dark, paired with a classic black-spotted pattern and prominent yellow eyes. This design aligns with Buck Perry’s systematic "Spoonplugging" science, developed in the USA to help anglers map underwater structures through controlled trolling or casting depths. The hardware consists of two treble hooks mounted to the underbelly and tail with integrated metal eyelets. Stamped with product code 15800, the specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a vibrant paint job and clean metallic edges. Every contour of the spoon-like profile is engineered for consistent depth control, reflecting Perry's belief that fishing is a predictable science rather than luck.
