Museum Archive: Vintage Pflueger Weedless CHUM Pflueger, 1/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #2089

Nickel plating provides a high-visibility shine on this stamped spoon body, which measures 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length. This Weedless CHUM Pflueger, cataloged under product code 2089, tips the scales at 1/4 oz (8g) and represents a design era that concluded in the 1930s. The most striking visual element is the feathered tail, composed of vibrant red feathers mixed with black-and-white spotted accents. To navigate heavy vegetation, the lure is equipped with a wire weed guard held in place by a spring and a screw-down assembly on the concave side of the spoon. The condition of the metal and feathers is exceptional, showing well-maintained surfaces that warrant a 5/5 rating. Small stamped markings on the nickel surface verify the American craftsmanship from the Pflueger factory.
