Museum Archive: Vintage Hofschneider Red Eye Wiggler Weedless, 1oz fishing spoon #22466

Flashy chrome plating covers the surface of this 1oz (25g) casting spoon, a signature look for the Rochester-based manufacturer. Two faceted red glass beads are securely pinned through the metal body, providing the "Red Eye" identity that helped Hofschneider lures gain such a loyal following among pike and bass anglers. Designed for fishing near heavy vegetation, this specific specimen is equipped with a stout single hook and a integrated wire weed guard to prevent snags. Stamped clearly on the concave reverse are the words "RED EYE WIGGLER" along with "THE HOFSCHNEIDER CORP. ROCHESTER, N.Y." The silver finish remains bright and reflective with minimal surface wear, resulting in a 4/5 condition rating. Measuring 3" (7.5cm) in length, this USA-made lure carries product code 22466.
