Museum Archive: Vintage Vintage Weedless CHUM Pflueger 1930s, 1/4oz Nickel / Red Feather fishing spoon #0157

Red feathers add a vibrant contrast to the polished nickel finish of this 1/4oz (8g) spoon. Stamped clearly into the metal on the convex side are the words 'PFLUEGER CHUM' and 'MADE IN USA,' identifying this as a piece of American fishing history produced by the Enterprise Manufacturing Company until the 1930s. Measuring exactly 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length, it features a robust single hook integrated directly into the body. The inclusion of a tensioned wire weed guard defines it as the 'Weedless CHUM' model, purpose-built for casting into heavy vegetation. This specimen, identified by product code 0157, presents in 5/5 condition with a bright, reflective surface and a securely bound feathered tail.
