Museum Archive: Vintage Pflueger Chum 4, 3/4oz nickel fishing spoon #21836

Stamped clearly into the nickel-plated body is the classic "PFLUEGER CHUM PATENTED MADE IN USA 4" mark, a hallmark of American craftsmanship. This 3/4 oz (21 g) spoon features a bright nickel finish that remains remarkably clean, earning a condition rating of 5/5. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm), the metal body is accented by a vibrant cluster of red and white feathers tied to the rear hook, a design choice used on these vintage spoons to provide a visual profile contrast against the metallic shine. The heavy-gauge metal construction is suited for casting or trolling applications where a substantial lure is required. Cataloged under product code 21836, the hardware includes a robust split ring at the line tie, while the feathers are neatly bound and intact on the hook shank. The overall silhouette follows the traditional Chum profile, characterized by its distinct teardrop-like spoon shape and high-quality US manufacturing standards.
