Museum Archive: Vintage Pflueger Limper #4, 1/2oz Nickel / Yellow fishing spoon #6060

Stamped clearly onto the nickel-plated surface of this 1/2 oz (14 g) spoon are the words "Pflueger Limper 4 Made in U.S.A." This classic Pflueger Limper #4 measures 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length and represents a staple of mid-century American metal lures. The finish is a bright, reflective nickel that catches light efficiently during retrieve. Attached to the rear is a strong treble hook dressed with vibrant yellow feathers, a color choice often favored for visibility in varying water conditions. Rated at a 5/5, the specimen shows excellent preservation with its polished surface and intact dressings. Identified by product code 6060, the lure features a heavy-duty split ring at the line-tie end, designed for secure casting or trolling applications.
