Finished in a classic gold and nickel plating, this spoon provides a high-contrast flash that stands out in various water conditions. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, this specimen is the Junior version of the legendary Red Eye lineup from the Hofschneider Corp of Rochester, NY. At a versatile weight of 1/2 oz (13 g), it is designed for casting or slow trolling, particularly when targeting pike or bass during the summer months. The defining feature of product code 22153 is the pair of large, light-reflecting red faceted beads secured into the body, which serve as visual triggers for following predators. On the reverse side, the authentic stamp clearly identifies it as a Red Eye Wiggler Jr. This USA-made lure maintains a nice 4/5 condition, showing light signs of age that highlight its vintage character while remaining structurally sound. The hardware remains intact, featuring the original wire-wrapped treble hook and the front swivel attached via a split ring.
