Museum Archive: Vintage Pflueger Weedless Pflueger, 3/5oz Copper fishing spoon #2945

Crafted from a warm, polished copper, this vintage weedless spoon displays the robust engineering characteristic of early Pflueger American tackle. Weighing 3/5oz (16g), the lure features a single upward-facing hook protected by two thin wire weed guards, designed to navigate through heavy cover. On the underside, a small screw secures a strip of textured material, intended to hold trailers or scent for added attraction. At 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, this specimen, identified by product code 2945, remains in 4/5 condition, showing only minor surface marks while retaining its bright copper luster. The hook assembly is firmly attached to the body with two visible rivets on the convex side, ensuring durability during the retrieve. A single line-tie hole is cleanly punched at the narrow lead end of the spoon. This USA-made "Weedless Pflueger" demonstrates the practical, no-nonsense hardware typical of mid-century angling equipment.
