Museum Archive: Vintage Hofschneider Red Eye Wiggler, 1oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #13153

Stamped clearly into the polished nickel surface of the 3-inch (7.5 cm) body are the words "RED EYE WIGGLER" alongside the manufacturer’s mark, "THE HOFSCHNEIDER CORP. ROCHESTER, N.Y." Two prominent, faceted red glass eyes are securely mounted through pre-drilled holes, providing a distinct visual contrast against the bright finish. Tipping the scales at 1oz (25 g), this USA-made spoon is built with a heavy-duty treble hook and an integrated barrel swivel to minimize line twist. The condition is rated 5/5, showing a remarkably clean surface that reflects light effectively. Anglers typically utilize the weight and teardrop profile of this specimen for slow-retrieve presentations when targeting pike or large bass. This specific model carries the product code 13153 and maintains its original hardware configuration.
