Museum Archive: Vintage Gibbs Ruby eye Wiggler, 1 1/4oz nickel/red eyes fishing spoon #20823

Two faceted red beads are securely wired through the metal body, providing the signature visual identity of this vintage Canadian spoon. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) and weighing 1 1/4 oz (35 g), the heavy-gauge lure features a bright nickel finish that remains reflective on both sides. Stamped markings on the concave face clearly identify the model and brand, which manufactured this piece in Canada prior to 1970. This item, cataloged under product code 20823, comes equipped with sturdy hardware including a nose swivel and a large treble hook. The condition is rated 4/5, showing only minor surface marks while the red eyes retain their deep, jewel-like clarity. The robust construction includes thick wire loops to hold the beads, a design intended for the rigors of trolling or deep casting.
