Nickel plating gleams across the 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) body of this classic metal lure, a hallmark of Pflueger's early 20th-century craftsmanship. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (8g), the Pflueger Chum Weedless Spoon (Product Code: 10600) was a staple in tackle boxes up until the 1930s. The vibrant red feathers attached to the single hook provide a stark contrast against the polished nickel finish, designed for visibility. A sturdy wire weed guard is meticulously placed to protect the hook point, intended for casting into heavier cover where predatory fish often hide. The underside reveals the authentic stamping "PFLUEGER CHUM MADE IN USA," accompanied by the distinctive logo that collectors look for when verifying early pieces from the Akron, Ohio manufacturer. Maintaining a 5/5 condition rating, the surface shows the care given to this specimen over the decades, with the metal and feathers remaining remarkably clean and intact. The mounting hole at the head is reinforced for secure attachment, highlighting the durable utility intended for this American-made casting lure.
