A substantial weight of 2 1/4 oz (65g) characterizes this large casting spoon, making it a heavy-hitting addition to a vintage tackle collection. The most striking feature of this specimen is the pair of large, faceted red beads mounted through the metal body, which give the Lane's Spark-L-Eye its namesake appearance. Measuring 4 1/2" (11.5cm) in length, the lure is finished in a bright nickel plating that provides a high-contrast backdrop for the vibrant red eyes. On the concave interior, the stamping "LANE'S SPARK-L-EYE WOBBLER" and "PAT PEND" remains crisp, identifying its production by Lanes Tackle & Bait in the USA. The hardware consists of a sturdy treble hook and split rings at both ends, all appearing in excellent shape. With a condition rating of 5/5, the polished surfaces are remarkably clean, showing no significant signs of use. This American-made classic, product code 22400, highlights the transition toward more complex visual triggers in mid-20th-century lure design. The red eyes are firmly pinned through the body, intended to catch and refract light.
