Museum Archive: Vintage Compac Red Eye Wigglers, 1oz Nickel / Red Eyes fishing spoon #3128

Weighing in at a substantial 1oz (28g), this classic spoon provides the heft needed for deep-water presentations or long-distance casting. The 3 1/4" (8.5cm) nickel-plated body features a polished, reflective surface that serves as the foundation for the signature translucent red beads that give the Compac Red Eye Wigglers its name. Originating from the USA, this specimen is designated with product code 3128. Rated a 4/5 in condition, the nickel finish remains remarkably bright, displaying only light surface marks consistent with careful storage. The hardware is comprised of a strong treble hook and integrated wire loops that secure the red eyes, which are designed to catch and refract ambient light. This specific version highlights the simple, effective engineering Compac was known for during its production era.
