Museum Archive: Vintage Pflueger Weedless CHUM Pflueger, 1/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #2154

Vibrant red and black-spotted feathers provide a striking contrast against the polished nickel finish of this 1 3/4" (4.5cm) American classic. Known as the Weedless CHUM by Pflueger, this 1/4oz (8g) specimen carries the Product Code 2154 and dates back to a production era ending in the 1930s. The mechanical weed guard is a standout feature, utilizing a fine spring-tensioned wire secured to the spoon's body with miniature screws. This construction was engineered to allow the hook to ride safely through lilies and dense vegetation. The stamped manufacturer mark on the interior of the spoon remains crisp and clear, evidencing the high-quality USA manufacturing standards of the early 20th century. Every component, from the line-tie ring to the delicate guinea fowl feather accents, reflects its 5/5 condition rating. The spoon’s concave profile and balanced hardware are specifically tailored for casting into heavy cover.
