Museum Archive: Vintage Weedless ​Pflueger CHUM , 1/2oz fishing spoon #13334

Stamped clearly into the polished surface of the spoon’s face are the Pflueger hallmarks, indicating its USA origin and patented design. This Weedless Pflueger CHUM, identified by product code 13334, is a classic brass-colored spoon measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g). The underside reveals a heavy-duty single hook and integrated weed guard held firmly in place by two specialized slotted screws, a design used by the company for models produced until the 1930s. Its curved profile and narrow line-tie end, fitted with a robust metal split ring, highlight the sturdy construction typical of early American tackle. The specimen shows some honest surface character from its years in storage, warranting a 4/5 condition rating. Every screw and rivet remains intact, preserving the original hardware configuration of this vintage weedless specialist.
