Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Red Eye Evil Eye, 3/4oz Yellow / Red / White / Blue Eye fishing spoon #0286

A high-visibility yellow finish makes this 3" (7.5cm) lure stand out in any tackle collection. Identified by product code 0286, the Eppinger Red Eye Evil Eye is a classic USA-made spoon that showcases the brand's iconic hardware configuration, specifically the blue glass bead eye wired through the center of the metal body. This 3/4oz (22g) specimen features a pattern of bright orange spots over the neon yellow base, with a contrasting clean white finish on the reverse side. The spoon is equipped with original silver-toned split rings and a sharp treble hook, all appearing in 5/5 condition as an unused piece of fishing history. This particular design reflects the era after Eppinger acquired the Red Eye company, maintaining the specialized bead-eye feature that collectors look for. The thick metal construction is tailored for casting and trolling in varied water conditions.
