Museum Archive: Vintage Red Eye Lures Red Eye, 3/8oz Nickel / Orange fishing spoon #6626

Nickel plating provides a classic high-flash base for this 3/8 oz (10.5 g) spoon, which features a distinctive lightning bolt pattern in fluorescent orange across its convex side. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm), the Red Eye spoon (Product Code 6626) showcases the precision of USA manufacturing, with the Red Eye Lures brand name stamped clearly into the concave interior. This specific trolling specimen is in 5/5 condition, retaining a bright, reflective finish and bold pigment without significant wear. The hardware consists of a robust treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring, designed to withstand the pressures of deep-water trolling. A simple, cleanly drilled attachment point at the nose allows for direct line tie or snap connection, maintaining the lure's streamlined profile.
