Vintage Paul Bunyan Flash eye spoon, 3/5oz coppe/red eyes fishing spoon #24183

A warm copper finish covers the body of this 3/5 oz (17 g) spoon, identifying it as a rare, early model Paul Bunyan Flash eye spoon. Produced by the Paul Bunyan Bait Company in the USA, this specimen features two distinctive inset eyes with a deep red border surrounding a reflective metallic center. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, the lure is designed for casting or trolling and retains its original hardware, including a front-mounted swivel with a small brass bead and a heavy-duty treble hook. This specific item, listed under product code 24183, shows gentle surface wear consistent with its age, maintaining a clean appearance and a condition rating of 4/5. American collectors often note that despite being a historical piece, the build quality of these early spoons remains robust. The teardrop shape of the metal body transitions into a tapered tail where the hook is securely attached via a reinforced eyelet.
