Copper tones dominate the finish of this Rochester, New York-produced spoon, which features the signature twin red beads that give the model its name. Sized at 1 3/4" (4.5cm) and weighing in at 1/4oz (6.5g), the Hofschneider Red Eye (Product Code 2503) is a mid-century classic often used for casting when targeting pike or bass. The reverse side of the stamped metal body clearly identifies the Hofschneider Corp. origins, a hallmark of American tackle manufacturing. Rated at 4/5, the surface remains reflective and bright, showing only subtle evidence of its history. This specimen retains its original hardware configuration, featuring a sharp treble hook and a nose-mounted barrel swivel for line twist management. The faceted red eyes are securely wired through the body, providing a distinct focal point for following fish during a steady retrieve.
