Museum Archive: Vintage Gibbs Ruby Eye Wiggler 2 UV, 1/2oz Fire Tiger fishing spoon #8739

Vivid Fire Tiger paint, featuring neon green, yellow, and orange with dark vertical bars, covers the 2 1/4" (5.7cm) metal body. Produced in the USA before 1970, the Gibbs Ruby Eye Wiggler 2 UV (Product Code: 8739) utilizes a distinct hardware arrangement where two red glass beads are pinned through the spoon's surface. These signature 'ruby eyes' offer a unique point of light refraction and visual contrast. At a weight of 1/2oz (13g), the lure is designed for stability during casting and trolling. The finish is UV-reactive, a characteristic that enhances visibility in deeper water by glowing under specific light spectrums. Original hardware remains intact, including the silver-tone treble hook and the nose-mounted swivel. The condition is 4/5, reflecting a well-preserved finish that retains its original luster and color depth.
