Museum Archive: Vintage Pflueger Chum 3, 1/2oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #6062

Stamped clearly on the nickel-plated belly is 'PFLUEGER CHUM MADE IN USA 3,' identifying this classic weedless spoon produced until the 1950s. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the Pflueger Chum 3 (Product Code 6062) is built for navigating through dense underwater structures. The Nickel / Red color scheme is accented by a vibrant burst of red feathers secured near the hook. To handle thick cover, it utilizes a specialized wire weed guard and a coiled spring mechanism on the hook shank, keeping the lure snag-free during the retrieve. This particular specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a bright finish on its metal surfaces. A robust metal split ring at the head serves as the primary attachment point for a leader or line.
