Vintage Hofschneider Red Eye Wiggler, 1oz nickel/red fishing spoon #24196

Two faceted red glass eyes are the standout feature of this Hofschneider Red Eye Wiggler, a design long favored for its effectiveness in freshwater environments. Measuring 3" (7.5cm) and weighing 1oz (25g), the lure's heavy profile is ideal for casting through wind or reaching deeper lake bottoms. This specific piece, cataloged as product code 24196, carries a 4/5 condition rating, showing some light surface marks and spotting on the nickel-plated body. It is designed for the slow retrieval speeds needed to target inactive pike or perch during the mid-summer heat. The hardware is consistent with original production, featuring a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring and a lead swivel for line protection. Small details like the crimped eye sockets and the curve of the nickel spoon indicate its authentic USA origin.
