Museum Archive: Vintage Vintage Pflueger Chum Spoon, 1/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #12864

Stamped clearly into the polished Nickel surface, the 'USA' mark highlights the heritage of this Pflueger Chum Spoon, product code 12864. Weighing 1/4 oz (8 g) and measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), this lure is a prime example of the weedless designs Pflueger manufactured until the 1940s. The bright plating is remarkably well-preserved, showing a condition rating of 5/5. You will notice the dense plume of red and speckled feathers is still tightly bound to the hook assembly with fine wire. The single hook is integrated with a functional wire weed guard designed to help the lure navigate through thick lily pads or brush. A small metal ring at the nose provides the primary connection point for your leader or line.
