Stamped clearly into the silver-finished metal is the "GIBBS RUBY EYE 1" marking, a hallmark of this classic design produced before 1970. Two translucent red glass beads are securely set within the body of the spoon to catch and transmit light, a signature feature that gives the lure its name. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) and weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), this compact USA-made spoon is engineered for light tackle casting. It comes rigged with a strong treble hook and a barrel swivel at the head to prevent line twist. The silver plating remains exceptionally bright and well-preserved, warranting a condition rating of 5/5. This specific Gibbs Ruby Eye Wiggler, identified by product code 8805, serves as a fine example of the functional craftsmanship that made these lures a staple for trout and salmon anglers for decades.
