Museum Archive: Vintage Buck Perry Spoonplug , 3/16oz White / Green fishing spoon #8500

Splashed with a classic white and green finish accented by fine black speckling, this specimen represents Buck Perry’s legendary approach to structured depth control. Weighing in at 3/16 oz (5 g), the lure is engineered to maintain its position in the water column, a core principle of the "spoonplugging" methodology developed in the USA. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), the compact metal body features the iconic contoured shape that Buck Perry designed to double as a mapping tool for the lake floor. The product code 8500 is associated with this specific size, which remains a favorite for anglers targeting transitions and drop-offs. The paint and hardware are exceptionally well-preserved, showing a bright, clean surface that warrants a 5/5 condition rating. A single, sharp treble hook is secured to the tail, while the nose features a standard split ring for secure line attachment.
