Museum Archive: Vintage Northland tackle Buck-shot rattle spoon, 2/5oz Golden Perch fishing spoon #20712

Measuring a compact 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length, this Northland Buck-shot rattle spoon is dressed in a vibrant Golden Perch finish. The face of the spoon exhibits a detailed scale texture, transitioning from a mossy green top to a brilliant gold midsection and an orange-red underside. Flip the lure over, and you will find the signature brass rattle chamber characteristic of the 20712 product code, a design element Northland perfected for vertical presentations in both open water and through the ice. At 2/5oz (11g), the weight is concentrated for a fast sink rate, while the black-stamped "BUCK-SHOT" name remains crisp against the gold backdrop. This particular specimen is in exceptional condition, earning a 5/5 rating with its paint and hardware fully intact. A true piece of American tackle history from the USA, the design reflects the practical, heavy-duty construction typical of Northland spoons intended for deep-water walleye and perch. The hardware consists of a robust split ring and a sharp, bronzed treble hook.
